Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with fraternal twin

s, has just learned that they (the couple) are both heterozygous for both of these traits. As the couple's genetic counselor, the couple asks you what is the probability of having both of the twins be albino and have sickle-cell anemia.

Answer:

81/256

Explanation:

By doing a test cross of albinism and sickle cell anemia you'll see that the probability that one child is unaffected by either conditions will be 9/16. Both children would be 9/16 * 9/16.  

Since fraternal twins are developed from two separate fertilization events the probability chance will be independent.

A mutation that causes production of a defective pilus in a bacterium will prevent __________.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Attachment.

Explanation:

  • Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
  • They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
  • Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
  • Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
  • Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
  • A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.
