What will happen to the frequency of the recessive allele for the hbs gene when there is an outbreak of malaroa?

Biology

The frequency of the recessive allele for the Hbs gene when there is an outbreak of malaria will increase.

The sickle hemoglobin is produced by the HbS gene, a variation of the B-globin gene. A person who possesses two recessive alleles is said to have the genetic condition known as sickle cell anemia.

People who are heterozygous have the advantage of having normal and sickle hemoglobin, so they are more resistant to malaria because malaria will only act on normal hemoglobin, increasing the prevalence of the recessive allele of the HbS gene.

However, the malarial parasite only affects hemoglobin which is normal, making heterozygous people more resistant to the disease. Hence, the frequency of the recessive allele for the Hbs gene when there is an outbreak of malaria will increase.

Answer:

b. newly formed viruses are released

Explanation:

This is because the end product of the lytic cycle is newly formed viruses. To summarize the cycle, the phage infects the bacterial cell, using it as a host to produce more of its kind, it infects the bacteria because it can't reproduce on its own. These newly created phages seek out new host cells to infect.

Use specific examples from Joseph Priestley’s experiment to explain the relationship between what he observed and what he inferr
Temka [501]
Joseph Priestley is an 18th century natural philosopher who is famous in his experiments in electricity, air, optics and soda water. His works are qualitative rather than quantitative because he does not concern himself with theories but practical applications.
His experiment in electricity through replication of other experiments lead to the publication of his book known as History of Electricity. He observed that electricity conducts through certain materials like coal and that electricity flow from conductors to non-conductors.With this experiments he concluded that conductivity is related to chemical property.
Another experiment that lead to a famous discovery is placing a mice in closed container with mercuric oxide. He concluded that the mice survived sometime because of common air-oxygen. He then  relate oxygen in respiration and its use in the blood.

Vlad1618 [11]
Osteoblasts are the cells in the bone tissue that are responsible to form bone tissue itself. This is the process that allows bones to grow. To counteract this process, osteoclasts, another type of cell from the bone tissue, have the role to break down bone tissue by molecular processes - enzymatic and chemical.
