Answer:

Pericardial sac has protective tole

Explanation:

Pericardial sac or pericardium is a fibrous tissue that surrounds the heart. It has two coats:

  1. the outter coat-parietal pericardium
  2. the inner coat-visceral pericardium or epicardium which is double-layered and contains pericardial fluid between those two layers (pericardial fluid is necessary as a lubricant for the heart movement).

Besides lubrication, percardium also protects heart from infections, fixes it and limits its movements.

The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype "ss"). People with genotype "ss" survive only up to
lions [1.4K]
The answer is stabilizing selection.

<span>Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.</span>

Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss,  disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.
