Biology

kotegsom [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Carbon dioxide has been released by the burning of fossil fuels. This process is increasing the ocean's water temperature resulting in the glacier melting

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide emissions have constantly been on the rise ever since the Industrial Revolution occurred. The burning of the fossil fuels is the main reason why there is such high quantity of this gas released into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, thus it contributes to the arming up of the atmosphere. Because the atmosphere is warming up, the water is warming up as well. The higher temperature of the water results in melting of the glaciers, such as Thwaites Glacier. As the process continues, more and more of the glacier will be melted, with the end result being relatively big rise of the sea level.

NEED HELP ASSAAPP!!!! 2. What protein changes shape in sickle cell anemia? What are two effects of this change?
mixer [17]

Answer:

Hemoglobin

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. With SCD, the hemoglobin forms into stiff rods within the red blood cells. This changes the shape of the red blood cells. The cells are supposed to be disc-shaped, but this changes them into a crescent, or sickle, shape.

The sickle-shaped cells are not flexible and cannot change shape easily. Many of them burst apart as they move through your blood vessels. The sickle cells usually only last 10 to 20 days, instead of the normal 90 to 120 days. Your body may have trouble making enough new cells to replace the ones that you lost. Because of this, you may not have enough red blood cells. This is a condition called anemia, and it can make you feel tired.

The sickle-shaped cells can also stick to vessel walls, causing a blockage that slows or stops the flow of blood. When this happens, oxygen can't reach nearby tissues. The lack of oxygen can cause attacks of sudden, severe pain, called pain crises. These attacks can occur without warning. If you get one, you might need to go to the hospital for treatment.

Both parent have sickle cell trait in which the both posses one abnormal allele of the hemoglobin beta gene (AS heterozygous genotype)

When two AS parents mate, probability of giving birth to a sickle cell anemia child is 1/4

AS + AS= AA, AS, AS, SS
