You inherit one set from your mother and one set from your father. To be born with sickle cell disease, a child has to inherit a copy of the sickle cell gene from both their parents. This usually happens when both parents are “carriers” of the sickle cell gene, also known as having a sickle cell trait

Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

If 2 parents are carrying sickle cell with them, if there child receives 1 different copy from each of the parents, they have sickle cell. but those  parent's who are carrying the sickle cell do not get it, they can only pass it down. So if a child gets a Sickle cell gene (S), and a sickle cell gene (A) they get sickle cell.

I hope this helped! If it didnt, ill fix my answer! just let me know!

What is the state vs. nonstate debate in hypnosis? Discuss any one state theory and nonstate theory
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The state theory suggests that when the subject is in a hypnotic trance, they have entered an altered state of consciousness rather than simply having become more suggestible - which is what the non-state theory states.

The non-state theory also suggests that when in a hypnotic state, the subject is actually still in control and actively participating rather than being under the control of the hypnotist who has induced some sort of change in brain function.

A plant with the dominant trait, wrinkled seeds, is crossed with a plant that has non-wrinkled seeds. All of the offspring are a
laila [671]
The answer is 0 percent.

If we represent dominant trait (wrinkled seeds) with A and recessive trait (non-wrinkled seeds) with a, then genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), Aa (heterozygous), and aa (recessive homozygous). The phenotype of wrinkled seed is determined by genotypes either Aa or AA. Since the cross of a plant with wrinkled seed with a plant with non-wrinkled sees gives only wrinkled-seeded offspring, the plant with wrinkled seeds must be dominant heterozygous.
Let's look at both examples.
If wrinked-seeded parent contains one non-wrinkled allele, it must be heterozygous (Aa):

Parents:       Aa      x      aa
Offspring:    Aa    Aa    aa   aa

So, the 50% of offspring has wrinkled seeds and 50% has <span>non-wrinkled seeds. 

If </span><span>the wrinkled-seeded parent does not contain any non-wrinkled allele:
</span>Parents:       AA      x      aa
Offspring:    Aa<span>    Aa    Aa   Aa
</span><span>
Thus, al</span><span>l of the offspring are heterozygous and all of them have wrinkled seeds.</span>

"The graph indicates that the number of species that have become extinct
S_A_V [24]
It seems to me that the graph indicates that the number of species that have become extinct <span> has increased with increasing human population. I consider the first option as a correct one because lines represented on the graph both go upwards through the same period of time and also they coincide which means they both increased.
