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)

Can you help with number 5? I didn’t feel like writing it.
Leno4ka [110]

From what I can see in the picture, the cell appears that it would take up half of the microscopes view if it were to be pushed to the very edge on one side.

That would be the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, and half of 0.8 mm would be 0.4 mm. The length of the cell is about 0.4 mm.

Now for the width. Since the diameter of the FoV (field of view) is 0.8, we can see that the cell doesn't reach both sides of the circle it is in. It also doesn't appear to take up half of it. So, to get the aprox. width of the cell, we're going to half the radius.

Half of 0.4 mm is 0.2 mm, so the width of your cell is about 0.2 mm.
