Q. Assertion :Sickle-cell anaemia is an autosomal linked recessive disorder that can be transmitted if both parents are heterozygous for the gene. Reason: In sickle-cell anaemia, haemoglobin molecule undergoes polymerisation under low oxygen tension causing the change in shape of RBC.

Q. Skin pigmentation is determined by two genes and a woman is heterozygous for one gene and homozygous for other gene. She exhibits the homozygous trait herself and this is an example of

Q. In a cross between a male and female, both heterozygous for sickle cell anaemia gene, what percentage of the progeny will be diseased?

Q. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder caused by a substitution mutation in the gene encoding hemoglobin, the protein on blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. This mutation causes the hemoglobin protein to fold incorrectly, preventing the protein from carrying oxygen to the red blood cells.
Sickle cell anemia is inherited as a codominant trait, meaning that both alleles are expressed equally and that one is not dominant over the other. The allele for normal hemoglobin is represented by S, and the allele for abnormal hemoglobin is represented by s.
If two heterozygous individuals mate and produce offspring, what proportion of their offspring are expected to have fully sickled red blood cells?
