Sickle cell anemia is a monogenic disorder in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia is i

nherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. A person who is a carrier for this disease typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition. Two cousins in Bangladesh got married and had kids without being aware that sickle cell disease runs in their family. Laboratory testing later showed that both partners were carriers for the sickle cell mutation. If this couple decides to have children, What is the chance (probability) that their children will also be carriers of the sickle cell disease?

Answer:

there's a ½ or 50% chance of their children will also be carriers of the sickle cell disease.

Explanation:

let IA = normal and IS =sickle cell

since both parents are carriers so it would be IAIS x IAIS

IAIS x IAIS

1 IAIA, 2 IAIS, 1 ISIS

When an E. coli cell is infected by multiple phages, what route of infection (lytic or lysogenic) will the phages take? Why?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

When an E.coli cell is infected by multiple phages,they will take either lytic or lysogenic pathway.

Explanation:

When lambda phage bacteriophage infects an E.coli,it can either undergo lytic cell growth and lyse the host cell or enter lysogenic pathway.

The operator region of lac operon in E.coli contain single repressor binding site whereas the lambda operators O_{L} and O_{R}  each contains 3 repressor binding sites (O_{L_1} ,    O_{L_2},O_{L_3} and O_{R_1},O_{R_2},O_{R_3})  that are differently occupied under different conditions.

The differential affinity of lambda repressor for the three binding sites in these operators play an important role in the maintenance of lysogenic state of lambda prophage in E.coli.

The lytic development occurs in cells infected with lambda phage that carry  C_1 gene.

In contrast,lysogeny will occur in bacteria that infected with lambda phage that harbor a deletion of Cro gene.

What is heredity and how it works in mice
ASHA 777 [7]

heredity is when a certain trait is passed down from human to there children or how animals have offspring and raise them. it works the same for any speciesis including humans. for example if your mother has blue eyes and your father brown you may get one of theirs or you may get a mix of their colors and you may even get your grandparents eye colors. same with mice it may be two brown mice and most likely they would produce brown offspring

another example for humans is my parents both hve dark hair but my dad had blone hair when he was younger and so did his mom so i ended up getting a mix of blonde hair with brown! hope this helps!!

Why is cell specialization important to an organism
garri49 [273]
Cell specialization is essential to an organism because cell specialization is what allows cells to provide the essential functions of life for an organism that have a wide variety of functions and purposes. Cell specialization leads to the diversity of cells in an organism such as the human body that build and allow essential organs and bodily functions to occur. Cell specialization is an essential building block that allows multi-celled and complex organisms to move and function.
