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.

The way in which each of the three major groups of rock forms is different.
sammy [17]
That is true.

These are the three types:

Igneous- form when magma cools down and hardens.

Metamorphic- form under earth's surface after particles undergo intense heat and pressure.

Sedimentary- forms when different layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other and harden creating a solid piece.
