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.

Sedbober [7]

After teaching a group of students about drugs used to treat hyperlipidemia, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students identify:

a) HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors

d) Bile acid resins

e) Fibrin acid derivative

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hyperlipidemia is triggered by the blood containing too much LDL cholesterol and not enough HDL cholesterol to clear it up. Bad lifestyle choices will raise levels of "poor" cholesterol and lower levels of "positive" cholesterol. Hyperlipidemia is treatable but is often a disease that lasts a lifetime.

One will need to watch what you eat and do regular exercise as well and to take a prescription drug, too. The purpose is to reduce the unhealthy levels of cholesterol. Thus HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statins), Niacin (Nicotinic Acid), Fibric Acid Derivatives (Fibrates), Bile Acid Sequestrants and Combination Therapy and Compliance are given to control.
