Sickle cell disease is a recessive trait which causes a deformation in red blood cells due to a mutation in the gene that codes

for hemoglobin. Consider a father and a mother BOTH with the genotype Hh, where H is the normal hemoglobin gene, and h is the gene that codes for the defective hemoglobin. What percent of their children will have the genotype hh, which means they will have the full-blown disease?

Llana [10]

The genotype of the short-haired parents that produced some long hair offsprings is probably heterozygous.

<h3>What is heterozygosity?</h3>

Heterozygous means an organism which has two different alleles of a given gene.

An organism that is heterozygous posseses two different alleles of the same gene. For example, in this gene coding for hair length;

  • L represents short hair (dominant)
  • l represents long hair (recessive)

Therefore, if two short-haired parents produce 100 offsprings and 25 of them are long-haired, it means that they were probably heterozygous for the short hair.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. A client who has increasing serum ammonia levels due to liver cirrhosis

Explanation:

Etiology is the study of origin or cause of any disease. Pathogenesis is the mechanism of causing disease by any pathogen. Pathogens use four-step to become pathogenic which are contact, colonization, invasion, and infection.  

In pathogenesis the symptoms of disease is observed not the cause so in option B increasing serum ammonia level is the symptom of liver cirrhosis which characterize pathogenesis rather than etiology and in other option, only cause of a medical condition is described so the correct answer is B.
