A gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. Suppose that a husband and​ wife, who are both

carriers of the​ sickle-cell anemia allele but do not have the​ disease, decide to have a child. Because both parents are carriers of the​ disease, each has one dominant​ normal-cell allele​ (S) and one recessive​ sickle-cell allele​ (s). Therefore, the genotype of each parent is Ss. Each parent contributes one allele to his or her offspring with each allele being equally likely. Complete parts ​a) through ​c) below. ​a) Genes are always written with the dominant gene first. ​ Therefore, there are two instances the offspring could have genotype Ss​ (one if the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the​ non-dominant allele; and one if the father contributes the dominant allele and the mother contributes the​ non-dominant allele). List the other two possible genotypes of the offspring.   nothing

Answer:

Two other possible genotypes are: SS and ss.

Explanation:

MOTHER  ALLELES: S s

FATHER ALLELES:  S     s  

Offspring genotype:                                                        

SS Ss  Ss ss

Then, a quarter of the descendants will be homozygous for the recesive allele (ss) and an other quarter, homozygous for the dominant allele (SS)

Go to biology.arizona.edu They have a ton of stuff on blood types. I don’t know if this will help because I’m not in biology yet but I’ve been there and it helped a lot with some stuff. Hopefully that didn’t sound to vague. Have a wonderful day.

How do DNA mutations change proteins?
Aleksandr [31]
A missense mutation is a mistake in the DNA which results in the wrong amino acid being incorporated into a protein because of change, that single DNA sequence change, results in a different amino acid codon which the ribosome recognizes.
