6 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let us assume the sickle cell anemia allele to be S and the alternate, non-sickle cell allele to be A.

Since the woman has no history of sickle cell in her family, she is totally free from the trait and, hence, would have the genotype of AA.

The man's father had sickle cell anemia. This means that the man has, at least, one sickle cell allele in his genotype with the other allele depending on the genotype of his mother. Hence, the man can be AS or SS depending on the genotype of his mother.

My name is Ann [436]

The best answer is B (semi permeable)
The cell membrane of a red blood cell is semi permeable membrane. This is a type of biological membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through while barring others.

Red blood cells have very thin membranes that allow oxygen diffuse through quickly. They are also permeable to water and osmosis across the membrane occurs very rapidly. In the body, they are bathed  in isotonic plasma in which case water movement  into the cell is equal to water movement out of the cell and so the cells remain intact.

Which is a phenomenon that can result from directional selection? a. There is an increase in the number of different breeds of d
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

B) There is an increase in the number of giraffes with long necks in areas of Africa where low-growing trees have died

Explanation:

The directional selection is one of the ways of the natural selection in which the natural selection selects or favours the most extreme trait of the species and the extreme trait show higher fitness than the normal or average trait.

In the given question, the case of Giraffe necks shows directional selection as the normal length of the neck is not favoured by the environment but the extreme trait that is long neck is favoured by the environment and the selection shifted to that level.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
