It tells us that there is selection pressure in that particular habitat that selects for individuals with these alleles.

In the case of sickle cell, malaria is the selection pressure as individuals with the sickle cell trait are more resistant to the deadly malaria.

which of the following shows the levels of organization in a multicell organsim from the smallest level to the largest?
zzz [600]

1. Organelles-. e.g. mitochondria, nucleus.

2. Cells- e.g. epithelial cells, palisade cells. 

3. Tissues- e.g. muscles, connective tissue.

4. Organs- e.g. heart, liver.

5. Organ systems- e.g. digestive system, circulatory system

This is because there are many organelles inside a cell and  a collection of same cells that creates tissues, a collection of tissues form organs, to carry out a particular function, and a collection of organs working together is an organ system. I think this is what they're after as I had a similar question a little while ago.
