Answer:
Man encourages his sister to see a genetic counselor in order to find out that she has the genetic disease or not.
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is genetic disease that can transfer from parents to their offspring. This is a very dangerous disease which decrease the life span of patient and the patient die in early stages of life. The man with Cystic fibrosis disease encourage his sister to go to the genetic counselor to find out the presence of disease in her blood because she is planning a baby and we know that this is a hereditary disease so if she has this disease it will transfer to her child.
1. B 2. C 3.A 4. A molecule is when two or more atoms join together. An element makes up the atoms that form molecules. 5. Similarities include both are cells and each cell are surrounded by cell membranes. 6.A fish is an organism and a rock is not because fish contain the characteristics needed for life, while a rock does not.
The independent assortment of genes is a principle of Mendel and of genetics. Since humans are diploid organisms (they have 2 copies of their genetic information), we have that each gamete carries one of the two available alleles for each feature. These gametes are created in equal proportions.
We have that both parents are heterozygous for a feature, lets say H. Thus, their genotype is Hh. Hence, the child will get with probability 50%=1/2 H from the father and 50%=1/2 h from the father; same from the mother. By doing a Punnett square, we get that there is 1/4 chance that the child is HH, 1/2 chance that it is Hh and 1/4 that is hh. Since the disease is recessive (so both alleles are needed), we have that the chance that the kid has the disease is 1/4.
Answer:
The correct answer would be "Can prevent genetic diseases".
Cloning refers to the process of making an identical copy of organism, cell or DNA fragments.
One of the applications of cloning is eradication or prevention of genetic diseases.
It is done by isolating the correct or functional gene and make copies of it in in-vitro conditions.
The gene or DNA fragment is then inserted back into the cell.
With advancement in cloning process and understanding of stem cells, cloning process also favors tissues and organ harvesting which also help in reducing diseases.
