Sickle cell disease (sickle cell anemia) is a genetic, inherited disease affecting red blood cells, in which a child can be ill if both parents are transmitters, ie asymptomatic carriers of the gene for sickle cell disease. It is a hereditary autosomal recessive disease, that is, it affects girls as well as boys, and only manifests itself when one carries two genes of the disease. This disease is genetic and therefore not contagious.
*So, to be sick from sickle cell disease, the person has to have two sick alleles in the chromosome.
*To have the sickle-cell trait without getting sick, the person has to have only one sick allele.

And: Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special transport proteins. Some molecules and ions such as glucose, sodium ions, and chloride ions are unable to pass through the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes.

8. Two rabbits are bred together. One is heterozygous for agouti coat

dusya [7]

Answer:

- Parental cross = Cch x chch

- F1 = 1/2 Cch (agouti coat); 1/2 chch (albino coat) >> 1:1 phenotypic ratio

Punnett square:

ch ch

C Cch Cch

ch chch chch

Explanation:

A heterozygous individual is an individual who has two different gene variants (i.e., alleles) at a particular <em>locus</em>. In this case, individuals having the "agouti coat" trait are heterozygous carrying both 'C' and 'ch' alleles. On the other hand, a homo-zygous individual has the same allele at a given <em>locus</em> (here, the 'chch' genotype associated with the albino phenotype). Therefore, as observed in the Punnett Square above, when a heterozygous parent is crossed with a homo-zygous recessive parent for a single gene, alleles segregate in the gametes of both parents so an expected 1:1 phenotypic ratio will be observed.

I need help with my science

IgorC [24]

Answer:

A theory is the most logical explanation of events that occur in nature. The explanation often results from the use of the scientific method. First, a problem must be stated. Then, after gathering information, a hypothesis, or logical solution, is formed. The solution is then tested in an experiment. The factor that is tested in an experiment is called the variable. This factor is not contained in the control setup. Sometimes principles of chemistry, the study of how substances change and combine, are involved in experiments. At other times, principles of physics are instead.

The metric system is used for all measurements in science. Some basic units in this system are the liter for volume, the kilogram for mass, the degree Celsius for temperature, and the meter for length. Sometimes, the density of a substance, or its mass per unit volume must be measured. If dimensional analysis is needed, a conversion factor must be used.
