Is sickle cell anemia an example of pleiotropy?
Pleiotropy describes the genetic effect of a single gene on multiple phenotypic traits. The underlying mechanism is that the gene codes for a product that is for example used by various cells, or has a signalling function on various targets. A classic example of pleiotropy is the human disease PKU (phenylketonuria). This disease can cause mental retardation and reduced hair and skin pigmentation, and can be caused by any of a large number of mutations in a single gene that codes for an enzyme (phenylalanine hydroxylase) that converts the amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine, another amino acid. Depending on the mutation involved, this results in reduced or zero conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine, and phenylalanine concentrations increase to toxic levels, causing damage at several locations in the body. PKU is totally benign if a diet free from phenylalanine is maintained.
What is heterogenous autosomal recessive disease?
autosomal recessive disease - a disease caused by the presence of two recessive mutant genes on an autosome some of ex. areCystic Fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease affecting the exocrine (mucus) glands of the lungs, liver, pancreas and intestines, causing progressive disability due to multisystem failure.Phenylketonuria: A metabolic disorder where there is a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase which leads to a harmful buildup of the phenylalanine in the body. Normally the phenylalanine is converted into tyrosine.Sickle Cell Anemia: Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by red blood cells which are crescent-shaped rather than the normal doughnut shape. These abnormally shaped red blood cells are unable to function normally and tend to undergo premature destruction which leads to anemia.
What will happen if the chloroplasts of the plant cell which part will unable to do?
protect the cell
Where does photosynthesis happen in the cell?
chloroplast

How reliable are bluetooth headsets?
Bluetooth headsets are very reliable. They are popular amongst cell phone users. Sometimes the calls drop, but this can happen when someone is talking on the cell phone.

What might happen happen if water kept entering a cell and no water left the cell?
it will be happy
What will happen when a cell is placed in a medium with solvent-solute content equal to that of the cell?
It will then be in an isotonic/isosmotic environment, and nothing will happen to the cell.
