Sickle cell disease in an inherited blood disorder. it is a recessive trait. that means you can carry one recessive allele for the disease and not have the symptoms. in this case, if you were a carrier and did not have the disease, your genotype for sickle cell would be

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Awire-hair terrier and a smooth-hair terrier are mated. the offspring produced are 6 wire-hair puppies and 2 smooth-hair puppies. a. what pattern of inheritance best describes this situation? b. what is the genotype(s) of the wire-haired puppies? of the smooth-haired puppies? c. what would be the expected genotype and phenotype ratios of a mating between 2 wire-haired terriers that are heterozygous?

Agene editing technology called crispr-cas9 uses cellular machinery to change the cell's genetic material. how might this technology be useful in treating diseases like cancer?
