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.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. the passage of electrons from one energy-generating carrier to another

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is a series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Electrons pass from one member of the transport chain to the next in a series of redox reactions. The energy released in these reactions is captured as a proton gradient, which in turn is used to form ATP in a process called chemosmosis.

These transport molecules, in the inner mitochondrial membrane, are reduced and oxidized, accepting electrons and transferring them to the next molecule, electrons descending from high energy levels to lower ones, that is, from one energy-generating carrier to another. When lowering to other levels, energy is released that will be used in the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.

Look at the population pyramid. What conclusion can you draw from it?
balu736 [363]

c. Birth rates are high      

Explanation:

A wide base in the population pyramid shows that there is a large population of young people with high fertility rate or birth rate and high death rate.

From the graph, it can also be concluded that narrow tip at the top shows that lesser older people are in the population.

This pyramid shown in the diagram is a triangular age pyramid. In this type of pyramid the pre-reproductive individuals are high   reproductive individual are moderate and non-reproducing individual is less. In such pyramid we find population grows.

Suppose in a family of ten 6 are pre-reproductive, 2 moderate reproductive and 2 post-reproductive. We will see the in the course of moderate and post-reproductive will die and those six of pre-reproducing age will increase the population.
