A man is heterozygous for sickle cell anemia and homozygous dominant for familial hypercholesterolemia. Knowing that these genes

are located on different chromosomes and using the information below, predict his possible sperm. Sickle Cell Anemia A=Normal hemoglobin a=Abnormal hemoglobin (Sickle Cell) B=Familial Hypercholesterolemia (abnormal LDL protein receptor) b=Normal LDL protein receptor)

Because of the law of independent assortment, alleles on different chromosomes sort independently of one another during the formation of sex cells. Because of the law of segregation, alleles of the same gene do not end up in the same sex cell during meiosis.

The answer <span>is AB and aB

<span>A man is heterozygous for sickle cell anemia: Aa
</span></span>A man is <span>homozygous dominant for familial hypercholesterolemia: BB

So, his genotype is AaBB. He will give only one allele of two for each gene.
He can have 2 different combinations in sperm cells:
- AB
- aB</span>

This glandular tissue resembles that of the salivary gland (clusters of zymogenic cells). What feature unique to the pancreas wo
leva [86]

Answer:

Seen on the explanation.

Explanation:

Glandular tissues are a mixture of both endocrine (ductless, hormones are secreted directly into the blood) and exocrine (have ducts, hormones are secreted into surfaces) glands.

The pancreas and salivary glands are both exocrine glands although the pancreas has an endocrine function via the islets of Langerhans, both aid in the digestion of food.

The pancreas lacks striated ducts and the intralobular duct is similar to the intercalated duct of salivary glands. It often has a collapsed lumens and the cells are cuboidal with little cytoplasmic staining in contrast to acinar cells.

The pancreas can also be distinguished from the parotid gland by the presence of the pancreatic islet (islets of langerharns) which has an endocrine function.

If natural selection has no foresight, how can it explain features that seem to prepare organisms for future events? for example
Nezavi [6.7K]

The genes in a population give forth the genetic variability across a population (genotypes). In addition, occasional mutations of these genes in a population increase this genetic variability. Hovever, natural selection only favours reproduction of individuals with genes that are favourable in the environment/habitat. Therefore, natural selection has no foresight but is rather pegged on being an ‘opportunistic’ process.

One of the first Mendelian traits identified in humans was a dominant condition known as brachydactyly. This gene causes an abno
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.

Explanation:

Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.

Ben Affleck has a cleft chin, but his ex-wife Jennifer Garner does not. Neither one of their two daughters (Violet and Seraphina
kherson [118]

Answer:

Ben - Y Xc

Jen - XCXC

Violet - XCXc

Seraphina - XCXc

Samuel- Y Xc

Explanation:

Given -

Ben has a cleft chin

Let the allele for cleft chin be "c"

and the allele for normal chin be "C"

When Ben with cleft chin mates with wife Jennifer Garner having normal chin, then the two girl child do not have cleft chin but the boy has cleft chin.

This means that the allele C could be X -linked and the mother is not the carrier but the father is

The genotype of father Ben would be Y Xc

Genotype of mother would be XCXC

Genotype of two daughters XCXc  , XCXc which means they are carrier for the next generation

Genotype of Boy - Y Xc

Why aren’t your cells poisoned to death even though they create toxins?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Our cells are not poisoned to death because it is metabolized by our organs.

Explanation:

  • Toxins are any chemical products that damages the functioning of our body.
  • To be more specific, human body do not produce any toxins. They only discrete the waste materials that are easily secreted by our body through the metabolic activities.
  • Organs like liver and kidneys are responsible for fighting against the harmful waste products and toxins by throwing it out from our body.
