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!

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The DNA polymerase is the enzyme which copies in the direction of 5' to 3' in the leading strand and in case of lagging stand it is opposite. that is from the 3' to 5'.

Replication in the 3' to 5' takes place in the fragments which is laid by the Okazaki fragments. These small fragments are kept together by the help of the enzyme known as DNA Ligase. So, called as discontinues

Incase of leading strand, the  strand is in the same direction of the for the process of replication (5' to 3'). So it is continuous.

Hence, the whole process is a combination of continuous and discontinuous DNA synthesis.
