Normal blood cells slide easily through narrow blood vessels. In sickle cell disease many red blood cells change to a crescent shape like a slender moon Crescent-shaped blood cells cause blockages in blood vessels These blockages decrease the transport of oxygen People with sickle cell disease often have sharp pains due to the lack of oxygen in parts of the body Some people have one sickle cell gene and one normal gene They have few defective cells and no symptoms because the sickle cell gene is recessive. How does the method of reproduction in humans result in people getting one copy of a sickle cell gene and one copy normal gene? Describe the process

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The method of reproduction in humans is sexual reproduction: a type of reproduction that occurs when new organisms are produced through the coming together of genetic information from two individuals of different sexes mostly a male and a female (egg cell and the sperm). The genetic information for making the blood cells; the red blood cells genes in particular exists on chromosomes in the nucleus of the sex cells (egg and sperm cell) also called the gametes. Basically, the DNA provides instructions for the production of mostly all of the body's needs.

The genes coding for the sickle cells which is the abnormal red cell is always inherited in the recessive form meaning both parent has to possess one copy each of the defective gene in their DNA. For humans to get one copy of a sickle cell gene and one copy normal gene; it means one of the parents gametes (be it male or female) contributed the defective chromosome and the other normal gene is contributed by the other parent  during copulation giving rise to an individual that is heterozygous for the trait

For example, the sperm cell with the defective gene fertilizes the egg cell that has the normal copy of the gene producing an heterozgous individual.

Eric has made a terrarium, a closed container with plants in it, and he has put


enough water into it to satisfy the needs of the plants. Does Eric need to add


water to his terrarium again? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The water will be used by the plants sooner or later so their basic metabolic needs can be achieved. Also, the plants will loose their water by transpiration, in order to produce their carbohydrates. Therefore the amount of water will not be enough and has to be replenished.

Number 1 is C
And im not sure about the rest :(

Storing hormones, smooth and cardiac muscles are the correct answers.

Storing hormones is not function of skeleton system. Skeleton system protects internal organs such as heart, kidney and lungs etc. It is also responsible for the movement of the muscles as well as produces blood cells because of the presence of bone marrow.

Smooth and cardiac muscles can contract without nervous system stimulation because they are involuntary Muscle which is beyond the control of the nervous system so we can conclude that storing hormones, smooth and cardiac muscles are the correct answers.

In fruit flies, the gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome, and the red eye allele (R) is dominant
to the white eye allele (r). A carrier female is mated with a male fly with genotype X
rY. Which of the
following statements best describes the expected outcome of the cross?
a. The chance of an offspring having red eyes is 75%
b. The chance of an offspring having white eyes is 50%
c. The chance that a male offspring will have white eyes is 0%
d. The chance that a female offspring will have red eyes is 100%

Answers

Answer:

b. The chance of an offspring having white eyes is 50%

Explanation:

So the genotype of the male fly is X^r Y. This means the male has white eyes because he only has one X chromosome, so he will express whatever allele is on that chromosome.

The genotype of the female fly, though, is X^R X^r. This is because carriers are heterozygous for traits, and the sex chromosomes of most females is XX (with some exceptions, like XXX, or X (Turner syndrome)).

If we cross this, what are the outcomes? Do a Punnett square. You get the genotypes of X^r X^R, X^r X^r, X^R Y, and X^r Y. The expected phenotypes are a red eye female, white eye female, red eye male, and white eye male.

Now, let's look at the choices:

A.: The chance of an offspring having red eyes is not 75%; it is 50%.

B.: The chance of an offspring having white eyes is 50%!!!

C.: The chance that a male offspring will have white eyes is 50%, not 0%.

D.: The chance that a male offspring will have white eyes is 50%, not 100%.

Another student claims that mitosis is the longest stage. Using evidence from the photo, determine which student is correct and why. A) Mitosis is the longest stage because anaphase requires more time to separate chromatids. B) Interphase is the longest stage because chromosomes are visible in the majority of the cells. C) Mitosis is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo are replicating their DNA. D) Interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividing.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

the longest phase in the cell division is interphase because the DNA replication occurs in this phase

As per the image interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividing. The correct option is D.

What is cell cycle?

The cell cycle, also known as the cell-division cycle, is the sequence of events that occurs in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells.

A cell cycle is the series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows as well as divides.

A cell spends the majority of its time in what is known as interphase, where it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then exits interphase, goes through mitosis, and divides completely.

Interphase is the longest stage, according to the image, since the maximum of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin as well as are not dividing.

Thus, the correct option is D.
