Sickle-cell conditions have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance from parents. 4. What is the sickle cell trait? Sickle cell trait (or sicklemia) describes a condition in which a person has one abnormal allele of the hemoglobin beta gene (isheterozygous), but does not display the severe symptoms of sickle cell disease that occur in a person who has two copies of that allele (is homozygous). If you have sickle cell trait, you have inherited the gene for sickle cell disease.
3. Insert your dissecting scissors or scalpel into the left auricle at the base of the aorta and make an incision down through the wall of the left atrium and ventricle, as shown by the dotted line in the external heart picture. Locate the mitral valve (or bicuspid valve) between the left atrium and ventricle. This will have two flaps of membrane connected to papillary muscles by tendons. Make observations and measurements of as many structures as you can, filling in your results table.
Shingles does not usually occur in babies, but if a baby is exposed to chicken pox earlier in life and months later the babies immune system is compromised that baby can develop shingles. 3.According to Patrick Guilfoille the same Varicella Zoster Virus is responsible for both chicken pox and shingles. Shingles is the reactivation of the virus in the affected person. The reactivation occurs when that individual’s immune system is suppressed. The link between the baby’s present condition and the three-year-old sisters is that, the three year old might have transferred the virus to the six month old through touch, coughing or sneezing.

Open versus Closed Adoption As a nursing student, I have had the opportunity to speak with high school students about the issues of teen pregnancy and parenting. One student in particular confided that she was having trouble deciding whether she should put her unborn baby up for adoption. This conversation prompted me to investigate the legal and ethical issues facing parents who decide to give their child up for adoption. Primarily, I wanted to understand the options available to the birth parent, and also, to weigh these against the legal arrangements in the best interest of the child. An adoption takes place for several reasons, as a result of an unwanted pregnancy, lack of a proper home environment or numerous other reasons.
When two carriers have a child there’s a 50% chance that the child will be a carrier, but not have the disease. There’s a 25% chance that their child will not be a carrier, and not have the disease; and there’s a 25% chance that their child will have tay-sachs. In america, about 3 to 5 babies are born with tay-sachs every year. Tay-Sachs Disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell has the cell mutation. Tay-Sachs becomes apparent in infancy.
I would advise them to seek help for their loved one as soon as possible. I would also encourage them to research the disorder and educate themselves in the symptoms and treatments. They would need to encourage and support their loved one in seeking professional help. This problem should not be treated any different than a cancer or any other physical disease. It is real and can be as debilitating as a stroke or heart attack.
Only a Y can be passed from father to son. If the disease is X-linked recessive, the mother at 1 is a carrier and the father has the gene, which affects him. The son at 3 is unaffected, and does not have an affective gene. The daughter at 4 is also unaffected but could carry the disease. The son at 5 is affected and would have to inherit the gene from the mother.
In autosomal recessive PKD, parents may have no symptoms but still carry a recessive gene for the disease. If both parents have this recessive gene, one-fourth of the children can inherit the disease.
