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 effects does crossing<br> over have on a chromosome?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: crossing over allows for genetic variation

Explanation:

crossing over is the exchange of genes between two chromosomes which ends up resulting in non-identical chromatids that comprise the genetic material of gametes (sperm and eggs).

Basically crossing over makes the chromatids that are held together by a centromere, no longer identical to eachother which creates genetic variation.

uysha [10]

Answer:

C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele

Explanation:

Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.

At F1:

                 BB   x   bb = All Bb (black)

At F2:

                  Bb   x   Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)

Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1

961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.

Hence, the correct option is C.

<em>An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele</em>
