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.

Can some one describe the excretory system for chickens?
Fofino [41]
Generally, the excretory system of the chickens is actually a biological system that usually removes excess of unnecessary materials from the body of the chicken. A function that eliminates the waste product of metabolism in the body such as liquids or gaseous wastes like urine, sweat and exhalation, these substances are usually toxic for the chicken body. There are only several organs that are considered part of the excretory system. It has also said that the system had a closed relationship with temperature in the body.
