Normal red blood cells slide easily through narrow blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, many red blood cells change to a cresc

ent shape like a slender moon. Crescent-shaped blood cells cause blockages in blood vessels. These blockages decrease the transport of oxygen. People with sickle cell disease often have sharp pains due to the lack of oxygen in parts of the body.
The sickle cell version of the gene that causes sickle cell disease is recessive. Suppose that two parents with no symptoms have a child with sickle cell disease. What genes did the child inherit from the parents?
A. The child must have inherited the sickle cell gene from the mother and the normal gene from the father.
B. The child must have inherited the normal gene from the mother and the sickle cell gene from the father.
C. The child must have inherited sickle cell genes from both parents.
D. The child must have inherited normal genes from both parents.

Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There is a difference between the homogeneous mixture of the hydrogen and the oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and the sample of the water vapor.

In the homogeneous mixture of the hydrogen and the oxygen which are present in the ratio, 2:1 , the elements are not chemically combined. They are explosive also as both shows their specific properties. They can be separated by physical means (Condensation, diffusion).

On the other hand, in water vapor, the two elements are chemically bonded in a specific mixture which cannot be separated via physical means. Water has its unique properties and they can be separated by chemical means only.

Which change in the h+ ion concentration of an aqueous solution represents a decrease of one unit on the ph scale?
melisa1 [442]
The answer would be a tenfold increase<span>
The pH scale is calculated based on the concentration of H+ ion in the solution. The formula is using log10, so to decrease 1 unit from the scale it will be 10^1= 10 fold of increase. For 2 </span>unit, you will need 10^2= 100 fold of increase.
