Answer:

A. MUTATION.

Explanation:

Sickle cell disease is caused by the “mutation” in the beta-globin (HBB) gene that lead to the production of abnormal version of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin is one kind of protein responsible for carrying oxygen in RBC ( red blood corpuscles or red blood cells). Abnormal hemoglobin S make red blood cells more fragile and and shape them up to the sickle like. These sickle shaped RBC can block blood flow through the body and can lead to serious problems, like - stroke, eye problems, infections and episodes of pain. Sickle cell disease is a lifelong illness. A blood and bone marrow transplant is currently a the only cure for sickle cell disease.

A child inherit a copy of sickle cell gene from both parents when both of them are carriers of the sickle cell gene or one parent has sickle cell disease and the other is a carrier of it.

How do you derive the simplified version for each component in the simple vapor-compression cycle?
vfiekz [6]

The compressor, condenser, expansion valve/throttle valve, and evaporator are the four elements that make up the vapor compression cycle.

The main difficulties in vapor compression refrigeration system miniaturization for designs based on standard-scale systems have to do with component integration and miniaturization.

The most important aspect of all mechanical refrigeration systems is the creation of a compact yet effective gas compressor.

The first factor is connected to the most basic separation mechanism that comes to mind: gravity. The maximum vapor velocity that is permitted should be determined by looking at the terminal velocity of the droplets if gravity settling is to be employed as a separation technique. This will prevent the droplets from being swept away with the vapor.

To learn more about velocity refer to:
