Using hemophilia as an example, discuss how mutations, genetics, and history interact in real-life situations. Describe the genetics of hemophilia, how it is passed down, and how it may have contributed to events that led to the Cold War. This will require some research into the royal families of Europe in the late 19th/earth 20th centuries.

Sickle cell anemia is a disease caused by a mutation at the genotypic level. A person with two copies of the gene has the disease, but a person with one copy of the gene does not have the disease. The diagram shows how this mutation affects an organism. Use the image to answer the question. The mutation causes the deformity of the red blood cell, the component of blood that carries oxygen throughout the body. The deformed cells can clump together and can clog blood vessels. The parasites responsible for the sickle cell condition are killed in the deformed red blood cells. In which type of environment would carriers of the disease be naturally selected for? A. low altitude B. high altitude C. low population of parasites D. high population of parasites

When parents with sickle cell anemia plan to have kids, they would consult a genetic counselor for preventive measures. I found it somewhere that it can't be prevented and it can only be made aware that one has it once they are born. How does meeting a genetic counselor help with preventive measures? Will genetic engineering prevents it?
Sickle-cell disease (often called sickle-cell anemia) is a disease that is caused by a mutation to the gene that is responsible for producing the protein hemoglobin. Remember that hemoglobin is a protein in the red blood cells which is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. When a person possesses the mutated hemoglobin allele, their red blood cells take on an altered shape and this results in a variety of symptoms ranging from general weakening of the body, damage to the organs and even death. The sickle cell allele is recessive to the healthy allele, thus only individuals that are homozygous for the recessive allele will have sickle-cell disease. Individuals that are homozygous for the healthy allele, along with heterozygous, individuals will be physically healthy. Question: Given that this mutated allele will cause disease and death in individuals, what would you predict to occur to the frequency of this allele in the population? Explain.

This is a blank question. Thank you in advance, Bloom Syndrome Bloom syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. It is characterized by short stature and a long narrow face with prominent nose and ears. There is also increased sensitivity to light. People who have the disorder often develop rashes on their face, forearms, and hands when they have been exposed to the sun. In addition, these people often suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and have a higher chance of developing cancer. The cause of this genetic disorder is a mutation in the BLM gene located on chromosome 15. The immediate effect of this mutation is that there is a defect in the functioning of the DNA helicase enzyme. What would be the effect of this mutation on DNA replication? What stage of the cell cycle would be most affected?
