Is the phenotype that corresponds to the HbS allele harmful, beneficial, or both?

Biology

horrorfan [7]2 years ago

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles.

<h3>What is phenotype?</h3>

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles. We will recall that the HbS allele is responsioble for the anemia that results from sickle shaped red blood cells.

This phenotype is both harmfull and benefical in the sense that it leads to the agglutination of the red blood cells in individuals that have this phenotype and eventual crisis. Also, it is beneficaila in that nthose who possess this phenotype do not suffer from malaria in the tropics.

How do changes in nutrient levels affect the structure of aquatic food webs?
vodka [1.7K]

ANSWER:

The effects of increasing or decreasing the nutrient levels in an aquatic food webs is described in the explanation.

Explanation:

If the nutrient levels in an aquatic food web increase moderately then it will result in increased production of the primary producers and the consumers.

But if the nutrient levels are increased excessively, like in eutrophication, then the increased level of nutrients will result in overproduction of the consumers like fishes, etc. Hence, there will be a scarcity of resources like oxygen in the water to support them and this will lead to a decline in biodiversity of the aquatic food web.

If the nutrient levels are decreased, then there will be competition for resources among the species which will ultimately lead to the decline of some species from the aquatic food web.

lesya [120]
When scientists say they share a universal genetic code it means that all organisms it can mean either DNA as the main source of hereditary information in all life forms we know of  or more likely that all organisms we know of use a three base pair code for the synthesis of proteins, DNA produces mRNA. This mRNA is read three base pairs at a time by a ribosome and this is called the genetic code.

In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus published a system for classifying living things, which has been developed into the modern
Mazyrski [523]

Cavalier-Smith's model no longer separates prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the statement which differs from kingdom classification.

Explanation:

Cavalier-Smith in 1998 had reduced the kingdom numbers. The were brought down from 8 to 6. These are:

Animalia

Protozoa

fungi

plantae

chromista

bacteria

He divided eukaryotes into 6 kingdoms.  The kingdoms are refined for better classification.

While Carolus Linnaeus divided the organisms into two kingdoms

Animalia and plantae.

The five kingdom classification:

Monera (prpkaryotes)

Protista  ( unicellular eukaryotes)

fungi (multicellular decomposers)

plantae (multicellular producers)

Animalia (multicellular consumers)

It has drawbacks like in kingdom monera both autotrophs and heterotrophs  are included. Phylogeny is not explained in lower organisms of monera and protista. Virus is also in classification. Cavalier-Smith introduced a new kingdom called chromista which are single- celled or multicellular eukaryotic organisms as diatoms, algae, oomycetes and protozoans which perform photosynthesis.
