The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

Legend has it that there was a less famous geneticist in the 1800s
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Few crosses

The complexity of cat genetics

Crosses not controlled by the researcher

Explanation:

The purpose of this question is to determine why  Megor Grendel is less famous than that of Gregor Mendel.

Gregor Mendel examined pea plants, which have a number of benefits for deducing genetic rules, including:

  • The researcher has total control over the crosses.
  • Because the peas have both self and cross-fertilization, it is possible to alter the crosses in the simplest way possible.
  • Pea plants may be examined for a greater series of generations than cats or other animals.
  • Because plant genetics is not overly complicated, several traits may be investigated at the same period.

As a result, the primary factors why Megor Grendel's experiments are not well-known:

  • The presence of only a few crossings: It is impossible to establish a genetic theory with such a small number of crossings on the test subject of the organism.
  • Cat genetics is too complicated therefore, the fur gene color on the X-chromosome, a characteristics mosaic inheritance. As a result, It is much too complicated to deduce an inheritance pattern.
  • Crossings that the researcher cannot fully control. Unlike plants, crosses in animals cannot be totally controlled by the researcher.

As a result, it is impossible to draw any conclusions from them.
