Answer:

The genes that the child inherited from the parents is the SS gene

Explanation:

The genetic composition of the haemoglobin genotype is given by two gene variants; A which is dominant and S which is recessive. As such, an individual can be AA, AS or SS. Individuals that are AA and AS do not show traits of the disease, but SS individuals have sickle cell anaemia.

From this example, since both parents have no symptoms and their child have sickle cell, their genotypes most likely were AS and AS. Let me show you how:

           A              S

A        AA            AS

S       AS              SS

From the cross above, there is a 1 in 4 chance that if both parents were AS, their child will be SS. Any other composition from the parents will not produce an SS offspring. Hence the genes that the child inherited from the parents is the SS gene.

cluponka [151]
The answer is <span>B. contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of proteins.

Saliva is watery substance secreted by salivatory glands. <em>It cleanses the mouth</em> and maintenance oral hygiene. <em>It moistens the food</em>, so the created food bolus could easier pass into the esophagus. It also <em>carries food chemicals to taste receptors</em> so they can be tested. It contains enzymes involved in the food digestions. Some of them are amylase, which begins the breakdown of the starch, and lipase, which begins the breakdown of triglycerides. <u>There are no enzymes in the saliva that break down proteins</u>.</span>
