Answer:

Explanation:

The sickle cell allele is recessive. Hence, in order for any child of the couple to have sickle cell anemia, such a child will have to inherit an affected allele each from the two parents. This means that both the father and the mother must have affected alleles in their genotypes. In other words, two sickle cell alleles are required for the abnormality to manifest.

Let us assume that the sickle cell allele is represented by S and the normal allele is represented by A.

Now, it is established that the mother has sickle cell anemia, her genotype would be SS. The father does not have sickle cell, his genotype can either be AA or AS.

Assuming the genotype of the father is AA:

          SS   x   AA

      AS   AS   AS   AS

<em>All the children would be normal in this case.</em>

Assuming that the genotype of the father is AS

           SS    x    AS

      AS   SS   AS   SS

<em>50% of the children would have sickle cell while the remaining 50% would be normal.</em>

<u>Therefore, in order to produce children with sickle cell, the father has to be AS, otherwise, he has to be AA.</u>

Briefly describe Wernicke and Broca aphasia. What is a main difference of these two classic types of aphasia and can be useful i
mixer [17]

Answer:

Broca's area refers to a motor speech region, which assists in movements needed at the time of the production of speech. When an injury takes place in the frontal parts of the left hemisphere, it can give rise to various kinds of language issues. This section of the brain plays an essential role in putting words together to produce complete sentences. The injury to the left hemisphere is known as Broca's aphasia, also known as expressive aphasia.  

Wernicke's aphasia also called receptive aphasia, posterior aphasia, or sensory aphasia is a kind of aphasia in which individual encounters with difficulty in understanding spoken and written language. Thus, the two kinds of aphasia are expressive aphasia in which one faces difficulty in conveying thoughts via writing and speech. The other is receptive aphasia, in which one finds difficulty in understanding the written or spoken language.  

By analyzing the symptoms that whether the patient exhibits difficulty in understanding speech and using accurate words to express thoughts or the movements that are needed to generate speech, one can find the site of destruction.
