Answer #1

IF 2 Heterozygous (carriers) for sickle cell anaemia are crossed, 50% come out to be carrier(Heterozygous) for the trait.

Explanations are on the sheet.

Hope you'll understand the concept. Please like. Thankyou

Draw a Punnett square representing the cross between a heterozygous individual and a homozygous recessive individual for gene A. Assume that gene A is inherited in a normal Mendelian fashion and assorts independently. What are the chances that these two individuals would have offspring that are… AA? Aa? aa? What alleles are in each of the gametes (sperm & eggs) for the heterozygous individual? Now let’s practice using the “rule of and.” What are the chance of the offspring from...

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells lose their flexibility and assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape, which results in a risk of various complications. If both parents are carriers of the disease, then a child has a 25% chance of having the disease, 50% chance of being a carrier, and 25% chance of neither having the disease nor being a carrier. If two parents who are carriers of the disease have 4 children, what...

Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal, recessive disorder. Individuals who inherit the mutated gene from both parents will show symptoms of sickle cell, including a stiffening of the red blood cells when the individual is under conditions with low oxygen levels in the air (e.g. on top of a mountain). This can lead to low red blood cell count (anemia), shortness of breath, fatigue, jaundice, and joint pain. Most critically, the stiffened red blood cells can clog small...
