Answer:

A. inheriting a specific gene

Explanation:

because sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for making hemoglobin that makes blood red and enable the rbcs to carry o2 from lungs to the whole body.

but both mother and father must pass the defective gene to the child to be sick with sickle cell anemia otherwise the child will carry the gene but shows no sign of the anemia.

solniwko [45]

The solid form of a substance is usually more dense than its liquid and gaseous forms. Similarly the liquid form is usually more dense than the gaseous form. Ice floating in water is an exception that breaks the general density rule. So option “A” is the correct option in regards to the given question. In case of ice formation, actually the density of water decreases by about 9%. This is the main reason behind ice floating in water. Pure water has the maximum density at 4 degree centigrade.

Sulfur and oxygen form both sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. When samples of these were decomposed the sulfur dioxide produce

Zinaida [17]

Answer : The mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide is, 0.997 g and 1.5 g respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of oxygen in sulfur dioxide = 3.49 g

Mass of sulfur in sulfur dioxide = 3.50 g

Mass of oxygen in sulfur trioxide = 9.00 g

Mass of sulfur in sulfur trioxide = 6.00 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide = $\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of sulfur}}$

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide = $\frac{3.49}{3.50}=0.997g$

and,

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur trioxide = $\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of sulfur}}$

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur trioxide = $\frac{9.00}{6.00}=1.5g$

Thus, the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide is, 0.997 g and 1.5 g respectively.
