Sickle cell disease is caused by an autosomal recessive gene. Because the disease causes anemia and pain, parents who have the trait in their families often get tested to see if they carry the gene for the trait.


1.If each parent has one copy of the recessive gene, what are the chances that their children could inherit two copies and have sickle cell disease?


2.If one parent has sickle cell disease and the other parent is not a carrier, then what are the chances that their children would have the disease?



How would I construct a punnet chart for both of these? Be detailed I wanna know HOW you got your answers. Thanks!

My step dad is trying to 'do' me. I'm 17 and find myself very attractive. He keeps asking for sex without asking for it. I want it too. He's only 30 and has made it a point to show off his 'thing'. I would love it and he is only my step dad. Should I? My mom has told me to go for it.

If you were basically ignored,shouted at,bullied by your father as a child, what affect would this have on you in later years with him and with yourself in general?

example. your paycheck is usually 500 before taxes and 400 after taxes. this time your boss pays you 1000 before taxes and 800 after taxes. are you suppose to pay him for taxes that you have no control over. wouldn't it be completely his loss for the taxes that are sent to the government...

My friend is contemplating joining the Marines.. so he wanted me to ask, say he goes to boot camp and decides it is too tough and he doesn't like it after the first day, what happens? can he just leave or no? Or he's on the plane and decides right when he gets there he doesn't like it? I know he has to research it but generally asking, what does one do in a situation when JUST arriving to boot camp they want to come home?

Im just tired of everyone complaining about gas prices and not finding an affordable solution. I cannot afford a hybrid car and I dont know many who can. I am perfectly happy staying at home because I dont want to feed my addiction to oil any more than necessary.

Will the people who make an effort please comment?

I just went over on my credit card by a few dollars because the company decided to give me a 34 day billing cycle this month. My interest was 181 and I only had 177 available credit. I paid enough last month to be able to cover the interest this month because I knew I would no longer be able to pay my bill any more as my savings is depleted and I don't make much money. My interest rate went from 21% to 29% a couple months ago even though I never missed a payment or was late or over in the past 4 years that I have had the card. This made it more difficult because I used the available credit on that card to buy groceries. Now I was paying most of the payment in interest. I think credit companies make it harded to pay off stuff even when you intend to. I guess I don't have to worry about being over because I can't pay my bill any more anyway. If my interest would have been kept reasonable my payment would have been lower and I could have paid longer.

Maybe that's why they always say President Bush did it, because maybe they really did it .

my husband and i have been married 7 years and have 2 children. we have had our ups and downs but managed to get through. but about 6 months ago he started to become very distant both emotionally and physically, "working" long hours, even spending the night elsewhere. a few days ago, my suspicions were confirmed - he had been developing a relationship with another woman. he claims it is innocent, but it is clear he's very fond of her (in his car, he was hiding a photo of her and him together, the car that only he has the key to). he justifies this "friendship" by saying that i have not been romantic enough, and that he had a right to be happy. he says he has reached a limit with me and refuses to stop associating with this other woman. i still love my husband, and i am totally devastated. i know our children will be deeply affected if we split up. is it worth trying to fight to save this marriage or should i make a clean break now?

I have never seen this being done, but have often wondered if it is possible and if so where you can sample elephant milk.

Ok So I am thinking on CD's. Lets say I retire at age 60. I am wondering exactly how these CD's work and if there is a maximum amount you can invest in a CD? Lets say I invest 500,000 in a CD after retirement and its 6% APY. What I dont get is the difference between the 1 month, 2 month, 6 month, 1 year cds. This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you figure the interest rate over these periods. If you cd yields 6% annually and its a 6 month cd then you get 3% in that 6 months, is this correct? Also, can you take the lump sum out of the CD after it has expired? Please help me out. Thanks
