When Ashleigh inquired about her family's medical history, she found out that Uncle Albert's mother (Ashleigh's grandmother) also had sickle cell disease, but Uncle Allbert's father did not. One of her uncle's six children also had the disease. However, Ashleigh's father, who is Albert's only sibling, did not have sickle cell disease, nor did Ashleigh's mother. Ashleigh's two siblings showed no signs of the disease either. What pattern of heredity does the sickle cell trait follow? Cite evidence from your textbook and its clues to support your conclusion. Based on your answer to this question, what can you conclude about the inheritance of sickle cell disease in Ashleigh's family? What might be Ashleigh's chances of being a carrier of the sickle cell trait?

Drag each label to the correct location on the image. each label can be used more than once. a scientist introduced mutations in a gene sequence isolated from bacteria. study the sequence, and identify the steps where the mutations may affect the formation of proteins. in the sequence, black letters stand for protein coding regions and red letters stand for noncoding regions. protein will not be changed. protein may be changed. attcgtgttc atcgtgttc atcgtattc attcgtattc

This problem has been solved! see the answeryou are investigating two traits in fruit flies controlled by one gene each. the b gene controls for body color (black or brown), while the r gene controls for body sculpture (rugose or smooth). after crossing rugose black flies with smooth brown flies, you obtain an f1 generation of 100% smooth black flies.what are the dominant alleles? (1 pt)what are the genotypes of the two parent flies to perform a dihybrid test cross? (1 pt)after running a dihybrid test cross, you find 1000 offspring with the following phenotypes: , rugose406black, smooth86brown, rugose94brown, smooth4141000fill in the expected column with the expected number of offspring in each class of phenotypes. (1 pt)what phenotype classes represent the recombinant offspring? (1 pt each)calculate the relative genetic distance between the body color gene and the body sculpting gene (show your work). (1 pt).
