Answer:

75% probability

Explanation:

The father have the trait of sickle cell anemia which means he is a sickle cell dominant with a trait of dominant SS ( meaning he has displays the severe symptoms of sickle cell disease that occur in a person who has two copies of that allele i.e homozygous). While the mother is heterogygous which means that she has one abnormal allele of the hemoglobin beta gene represented as As.

Based on this notion, upon crossing of the traits the probabilities are<em> 75% Heterogygous trait and 25% homoxygous traits (i.e As, As, As, SS)</em>. Meaning 75% of the children will be unaffected by the Sickle cell anemia, while 25% will be affected by the anemia.

Which question is testable?
Nuetrik [128]

The correct answer is: A. How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?

While options B, C & D are not impossible to test, option A is the only question that can be tested using quantitative methods, such as statistical analysis. The question in option A states: "How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?". This question is easily testable using scientific investigation, because controlled or measured amounts of water can be added to corn, and the consequent growth rate of corn can be easily measured and recorded. However, the questions in options B, C & D cannot be precisely measured using quantitative tools, since they aim to measure qualitative (subjective) factors, such as: ethics, happiness and disappointment.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as the term to match with the level of organisation is not included, the terms are;

circulatory system

cardiac muscle

heart

human body

The ANSWER is:

Organ = heart

Organ system = circulatory system

Tissue: cardiac muscle

Explanation:

The level of organization of multicellular organisms is made up of cell, tissue, organ, organ system and eventually organism.

- The tissue is composed of several cell, which are basic units of any living organism. Cells that perform similar function come together to form the tissue. Example is the CARDIAC MUSCLE in this question, which is a muscular tissue made up of cells called myocardiocytes.

- Organs are structures formed as a result of collection of tissues with similar function. For example, the HEART is a circulatory organ made up of cardiac tissues, connective tissues etc.

- Organ systems is made up of organs that perform the same function in a living organism. In the case of the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, it is made up of organs such as heart, blood vessels, lungs etc.
