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!

A specialized structure within a cell that has its own specific function is known as a/an _______.
vichka [17]

Answer:

Organnelle

Ribosomes

Nucleus

Archaeabacteria

Phospholipid bilayer

Lipases

Explanation:

1. Organnelles are specialized structures in a cell designed to perform a particular function that will make the cell normal e.g. ribosome, Chloroplast, mitochondrion are examples of organnelles.

2. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is one of the two endomembranous systems in the cell. It is characterized by its rough appearance which occurs as a result of ribosomes attached to its surface. This attachment of ribosomes makes its function related to protein synthesis.

3. Nucleus is a membrane bound organnelle found only in EUKARYOTIC cells. It houses the genetic material (DNA) of a cell and acts as the brain by directing all of the cellular activity of that cell.

4. Archaeabacteria is one of the six kingdoms in the hierarchical classification of living organisms. They contain unicellular and prokaryotic organisms that are uniquely characterized by their ability to survive extreme conditions e.g high temperature.

5. The plasma membrane is an outer covering that bounds the cells of both Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. According to the fluid mosaic model that describes the structure of the cell membrane, it contains a phospholipid layer that confines its selective permeability upon it i.e. ability to control what goes in and out of the cell. This is due to the amphipathic nature of the phospholipid i.e. contains an hydrophobic and hydrophilic region.

6. Lipases are enzymes that are involved specifically in the breakdown of lipids and fat molecules into fatty acids and glycerol.

Explanation:

Cushing Syndrome occurs when the body is exposed to high level of cortisol for a long time either externally (taken into the body from outside ) or internally (secretion in excess of the hormone called cortisol by the body) . It can also be called hypercortisolism .

The symptoms of Cushin Syndrome may vary depending on the severity of the excess cortisol secretion. Females may have irregular menstrual period due to this condition.

Asthma and arthritis patients who take corticosteroids and experiences the mentioned symptoms should seek medical attention for diagnosis.
