Answer:
6,25%
Explanation:
Considering that the couple has a trait of sickle cell anemia, we know that both are heterozygous for the disease (Aa) and therefore can have children with the following genotypes:
Parents: Aa X Aa
Children: AA(A x A), Aa(A x a), Aa (a x A) and aa(a x a)
Knowing that sickle cell anemia only occurs in homozygous individuals, the probability for children to have the disease according to each crossing is:
A x A = 1/4 = 25%
A x a = 1/4 = 25%
a x A = 1/4 = 25%
a x a = 1/4 = 25%
The probability of forming each homozygous child (aa) is 1/4 or 25%. Since they are two children, the probability of both having sickle cell anemia is calculated by multiplying the probability of each, so:
1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%
It is concluded that the probability of a heterozygous couple for sickle cell anemia to have two children with the disease is 6.25%.
2 or more different atoms are combined in definite proportions in any compound.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
When these viruses insert their genome into the host cell, they usually have a reverse transcriptase enzyme that converts the RNA to DNA before it is integrated into the host genome. This is before the host cell machinery is hijacked to replicate the viruses components.
Answer: genus
Explanation:
The answer to the question is genus. The genus is where microevolution occurs or happens. The domain, species, kingdom, family, or population are not the taxonomic category where microevolution occurs. The answer to the question is genus.

Answer:
The correct answer is d. DNA polymorphism and disease gene are linked.
Explanation:
DNA polymorphism helps to study the difference in nucleotide sequence of one DNA in comparison to the standard one.
DNA polymorphism is an important tool to analyze the disease that is caused due an alteration of gene sequence leading to genetic mutation.
Now the altered gene sequence is compared with the normally functioning gene to draw a statistical relationship between altered gene sequence that causes disease with peviously discovered DNA polymorphism.
