Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited autosomal recessive

Biology
1 answer:
alekssr [168]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1/8 (12.5%)

Explanation:

An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).

- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>

- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>  

- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals =  1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)

Rock B reacts with hydrochloric acid. State the name of the rock B
choli [55]

Answer:

The sedimentary rock limestone which contains carbonate mineral Calcite and the metamorphic rocks which contain carbonate mineral Aragonite are the examples of rocks which react strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring structures formed on the Earth's crust and are composed of aggregate minerals. Classification of rocks: Igneous rocks - formed by cooling of magma on Earth's crust or seabed (basalts, gabbros, granite, etc), sedimentary rocks - formed over time by the accumulation of sediments from the weathering of existing rocks or fragments of minerals and organisms (mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, siltstone, etc) and metamorphic rocks - transformed rocks formed from the existing rocks that are subjected to large pressures and temperatures (schists, gneiss, marble, etc).

The carbonate minerals like calcite, dolomite, aragonite, etc react with hydrochloric acid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. Calcite (calcium carbonate), which is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in a varying proportion reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid. So, the sedimentary rock Limestone which mainly contains calcite react strongly with the acid while Dolostone which mainly contains dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) reacts less vigorously. Another carbonate mineral aragonite, found in metamorphic rocks also reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected?
Nina [5.8K]
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make Atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while the water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
