Sickle Cell anemia is a recessive trait that causes blood cells to be misshaped. A woman who has no history of sickle cell anemia marries a man whose father had sickle cell anemia. What are their genotypes?

See the answer below

Explanation:

Let us assume the sickle cell anemia allele to be S and the alternate, non-sickle cell allele to be A.

Since the woman has no history of sickle cell in her family, she is totally free from the trait and, hence, would have the genotype of AA.

The man's father had sickle cell anemia. This means that the man has, at least, one sickle cell allele in his genotype with the other allele depending on the genotype of his mother. Hence, the man can be AS or SS depending on the genotype of his mother.

Mantle convection is the slow creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.[1][2] the earth's surface lithosphere, which rides atop the asthenosphere (the two components of the upper mantle), is divided into a number of plates that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by conduction and convection of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of subduction usually at an ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4] while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from spinel to silicate perovskiteand magnesiowustite, an endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6] and mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the tectonic plates are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the hadean period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten iron, and nickel elements and sulphides in the core, and lighter silicate minerals in the mantle.
