Read the scenario then answer the question:
When Ahmad and Amina decided to get married, they were worried that their coming children might suffer from Sickle cell disease, since Amina’s mother had the disease. But the doctor made things clear ….
DOC: “Unfortunately Mr. Ahmad after tracking your family’s genetics you might be carrying the recessive allele for the disease so there is a 25% chance your children might be anemic. “
PARENTS: “ So does that mean that 25% might not even carry the disease allele?
And 50% will carry the allele but won’t have the disease? Did we mention to you that we are cousins? “
Doctor: “ Well now it makes much more sense! Children of first-cousin marriages have an increased risk of autosomal recessive genetic disorders, just like sickle cell disease, which comes from a recessive allele. Two cousins might both carry the recessive allele and transmit it both to their child which will become ill unfortunately, just like sickle cell disease.
PARENTS: “ Unfortunately, my son Seif was born with sickle cell anemia and is getting medication to carry on his life normally. My daughter Shamsa doesn’t suffer from the disease, but she might carry the recessive gene and might have anemic children in the future. “
-----
INFORMATION:
•You should know that S is the dominant allele for normal blood cells, and s is the recessive allele for sickle cell anemia
•Phenotypes are normal for normal trait and anemic for recessive trait
•In the pedigree we see the cross of the heterozygous parents
question:
Write a neat and full text about your analysis of the family’s inheritance, explain how the disease inheritance is affected by cousins marrying each other, and give solutions to reduce the probability of getting the disease. (350 words)
Enforce your work by doing further research, make sure to insert pictures or any document that you believe can show your work and express your ideas. Do your research on mendelian genetics, inherited diseases, autosomal and gonosomal, patterns of inheritance etc…

The son, Seif, is born with sickle cell anemia. This means both parents carry the allele for sickle cell anemia.
The father, Ahmad has a heterozygous genotype as told by the doctor.
The mother can also be proved heterozygous for the trait since her mother was anemic. This means one of the affected alleles was inherited from the mother.
So, the genotypes of Ahmad is Ss and that of Amina is Ss.
Gametes formed by Ahmad are S and s.
Gametes formed by Amina are S and s.
1 offspring having genotype SS does not carry the affected allele and will be phenotypically normal.
2 offsprings having genotype Ss carry the affected allele but will be phenotypically normal.
1 offspring having genotype ss have both affected alleles and will be sickle cell disease.

IMPORTANT!!! Please answer it precisely. It is expected to use academic knowledge and language. Use your own words, do not copy paste.
Suppose you are a microbiologist living in late 1800ies and early 1900. You suspect that the microorganism called Mycobacterium leprae might be responsible for the disease called leprosy. You had heard about a researcher called Robert Koch and his postulates, and you would like to follow his approach to test if leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Explain stepwise and in detail the experimental procedure that you would follow. Please also explain what kind of results you would expect in each step of your procedure.

Please explain in detail how the microbiology information about the infectious diseases and their epidemiology, aseptic techniques of microbiology (sterilization, disinfection, antimicrobial techniques and agents) helped you during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please give detailed examples of how you used your microbiology and/or scientific knowledge in helping/informing people in your family and/or your community and/or how different was your behavior and attitudes than the others (non-microbiology/molecular biology people) around you during the COVID-19 pandemics and the lockdown period.
