Based on the pattern of inheritance, do you think the mutated huntington’s and sickle cell genes are dominant or recessive?

Huntington’s is definitely a dominant trait. Only one gene contributed by one parent is needed for the disease to show up in the child, which gives the child a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. Sickle cell anemia is recessive because a child has to inherit genes from the mother and father to have the disease.

Explanation:

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
