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)

What is the primary purpose of the chromosomes in a cells nucleus?​
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

They are made of protein and one molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As the genetic material passes from parents to child, the chromosomes are responsible for containing the instructions that make the offspring unique while still carrying traits from the parent.

A population of kangaroos is growing at a rate of 2% per year, compounded continuously. If the growth rate continues, how many y
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 20 years.

Explanation:

It is given that the growing rate is 2% or 2/100 = 0.02

This rate got increased to 150%

The formula for exponential growth is:  

A = Pe^rt

Let the initial population be 100%

150 = 100.e^0.02*t

3/2 = e^0.02t

1.5 = e^0.02t

After taking log from both the sides:  

ln(1.5) = 0.02t * ln(e) [ln(e) = 1]

ln(1.5) = 0.02t

t = ln(1.5)/0.02

t = 20.27

Thus, it will take around 20 years for the size of the population to reach 150 percent of its present size on the basis of the exponential growth function.
