Normal red blood cells slide easily through narrow blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, many red blood cells change to a cresc

ent shape like a slender moon. Crescent-shaped blood cells cause blockages in blood vessels. These blockages decrease the transport of oxygen. People with sickle cell disease often have sharp pains due to the lack of oxygen in parts of the body.
Sickle cell disease is caused by an abnormal type of red blood cell gene inherited by the parents. What is the name for different forms of the same gene?

3 POINTS HURRY! What is the relationship between biotechnology, sharkskin, and disease resistance?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The correct option is D: Sharkskin produces many chemicals that can be collected and used to create antibiotics.

Explanation:

Sharkskin can resist bacteria and other types of germs due to the microscopic pattern of ridges it has on its surface. This is especially useful in case of bacteria that have developed an antibiotic resistance. There are biotechnology companies that are developing a product with a texture like that of a sharkskin, so as to have the same properties of microbial resistance.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

When an orginism is repredused by budding, how does the new organism start growing?
Finger [1]
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where the new organism (offspring) grows as an outgrowth from the body of the parent. Here, the new individual starts growing as a small body on one side of the parent organism and continues growing in size while still attached to the parent.

Early on, it appears as part of the parent given that it does not detach until it has grown further. Ultimately, the new individual, which resembles the parent, detaches and becomes an independent organism.
