o had sickle cell disease, but Uncle Allbert's father did not. One of her uncle's six children also had the disease. However, Ashleigh's father, who is Albert's only sibling, did not have sickle cell disease, nor did Ashleigh's mother. Ashleigh's two siblings showed no signs of the disease either. What pattern of heredity does the sickle cell trait follow? Cite evidence from your textbook and its clues to support your conclusion. Based on your answer to this question, what can you conclude about the inheritance of sickle cell disease in Ashleigh's family? What might be Ashleigh's chances of being a carrier of the sickle cell trait?

The sickle cell pattern based on the family history of Ashleigh isan:

  • Autosomal recessive pattern

Based on the given question, we cam see that in the medical history of Ashleigh's family, most of them have had the sickle cell disease which includes her grandmother, one of her uncle's six children has it too, but her father and grandfather did not have the disease.

With this in mind, the inheritance of the sickle cell disease in the family of Ashleigh is one which is autosomal recessive as it affects some people and doesn't affect others because of the pairing of the chromosome which <em>contains the sickle cell trait.</em>

With the advent of industrialization, several trees have been cut at an alarming rate for raw materials and various other purposes. This felling of trees can be regulated by selective cutting, clear-cutting and shelterwood cutting.

Forest fires are one of the common causes of loss of forests. Sometimes the forest land is set on fire to make the land available for commercial purposes. Once cleared, there can be no vegetation. Natural forest fires are also responsible for the destruction of huge forest covers. Latest fire fighting techniques should be adopted to conserve the forest. However, forest fires are an important part of the ecosystem and it helps replenish nutrients in the soil from dead and decaying matter.

More trees should be planted to increase the forest cover. Trees should be selected according to the geographical conditions of a particular region and proper care should be taken during the growth of trees.

Prevention of exploitation of forestry and forest products is necessary for the conservation of forest.

The existing forests should be protected from diseases by spraying chemicals, antibiotics or development of pest-resistant strains of trees.

A. behavioral isolation is when the plant or animal acts a particular way to attract their counterparts, like mating rituals.

geographic isolation is the natural barrier preventing similar species from interacting. for example, Galapagos Islands are the only home of flightless cormorants because the islands are so far from any other land for them to invade.

Temporal isolation is when two of the same or similar species cannot reproduce as a result of mismatched sexual maturity.

B. the isolation of two frog species by mating call is behavioral isolation.

I believe that the best answer for this question is false. The individual who was the first to describe microbes was Antonie van Leeukwenhoek. He is considered to be the Father of Microbiology and the first microbiologist. Hook was actually his contemporary. I hope this helps.

Naily [24]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plants are the organisms present on the Earth which can be easily marked with their green color. The green color is due to the presence of the chloroplast which encompasses the chlorophyll pigment.

The chlorophyll pigment has the ability to capture the sunlight energy which initiates the process of photosynthesis. The photosynthesis process utilizes Carbon dioxide gas and water to form glucose molecules.

The glucose molecule is then transported to the other parts of the plants like stem and roots where photosynthesis is absent and to obtain the energy, plant perform cellular respiration. The cellular respiration requires oxygen gas which acts as an electron acceptor molecule.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
