Answer:

If both parents do not have sickle-cell anemia, than the possibility is low.

Explanation:

If both parents have the sickle-cell trait, their offspring has a 25 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent risk of them having sickle cell trait. Meanwhile, there is also a 25 percent chance of the child not getting it at all.

If one parent has sickle cell anemia and the other has sickle cell trait, then their offspring with have a 50 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent chance of getting a sickle cell trait.

When both parents have sickle cell anemia, their child will definitely have it.

Answer:

No, 0% chance

Explanation:

none of the parents are carriers of this disease, and are homozygous dominant to the normal red blood cells, so they will not inherit this disease

Explain how the taiga is different from the other forest ecosystems.
serg [7]

Taiga is a winter type forest. Taiga is different then other ecosystems because other ecosystems are not has cold has Taiga. Taiga ecosystems can get has low has -70 °F (or -60° C)

But Taiga ecosystems can get has hot has 104°F (or 40°C)

Taiga ecosystems can get colder then tundra (which is another very cold too)

Some things that make the Taiga ecosystems unique is:

  1. Evergreen trees, the Taiga is COVERED with these.

Hope this helps!

What function do chloroplasts perform
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.

NeX [460]

Maya is pregnant and the doctor should tell her about the condition of preeclampsia that this condition <span>can affect other organs in the mother's body. It can cause kidney damage, liver failure, neurological symptoms, such as severe headaches, seizures, and fluid on the lungs and the reason behind this is may be a substance released from placenta. And due to this the fetus may not get the nourishment and oxygen it needs for growth. </span>

Sea organisms rely on the deep oceanic currents for food and nourishment.
Paha777 [63]

Answer: Currents are powerful physical forces in the seas. They move water and heat around the globe, and help determine the chemical make-up of the water column. Currents also are a major factor in ocean ecosystems. Two types of current motion, upwelling and downwelling, strongly influence the distribution and abundance of marine life.

Upwelling

Currents play a huge role in marine productivity, through a process called upwelling. Sea life is concentrated in the sunlit waters near the surface, but most organic matter is far below, in deep waters and on the sea floor. When currents upwell, or flow up to the surface from beneath, they sweep vital nutrients back to where they're needed most.

Nowhere is the link between ocean circulation and productivity more evident than around Antarctica. There, strong currents pump nitrogen and phosphate up from the deep sea to fuel vast blooms of algae and other plants. These plankton are eaten by swarms of shrimp-like crustaceans called krill. Because of upwelling nutrients, krill are abundant enough to feed the largest animals on earth, baleen whales, as well as myriad penguins, seals, and seabirds. In fact, despite the harsh conditions, the biomass of Antarctic krill is thought to be greater than that of any other animal on Earth.

Downwelling

The importance of upwelling to surface organisms is matched by the need of sea bottom life for downwelling, or the sinking of surface water. Surface water can be forced downward by the pressure of the “pile” of water that forms where currents converge or wind drives the sea against a coastline. But for bottom dwellers, the sinking of water caused by density changes is especially noteworthy. The global conveyer belt takes oxygen-rich surface water and flushes it through the deep sea. Without this renewal, the dissolved oxygen in bottom sediments and waters would quickly be used up by the decay of organic matter. Anaerobic bacteria would take over decomposition, leading to a build up of hydrogen sulfide. Few benthic animals would survive such toxic conditions.

In the most extreme cases, a lack of downwelling may lead to mass extinctions. Paleontologists have suggested that 250 million years ago, deep circulation slowed nearly to a stop, and the ocean began to stagnate. Low oxygen, sulfide and methane-rich waters filled the ocean deeps and then spread onto the continental shelves, wiping out 95% of all marine species in the greatest extinction event in Earth history.
