Answer: Pathogens would invade the body and cause disease, such as giardia.

Explanation:

The water body get polluted by the disposal of biological and non-biological wastes liberated by the human society so as to get rid of those wastes. The biological wastes includes the slurry of sewage which mainly includes the human and animal fecal matter which includes the pathogens which colonize and deteriorates the quality of water.

The gene that causes sickle-cell disease is present in a higher percentage of residents of sub-Saharan Africa than among those o

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Ans.

Sickle-cell disorder shows defected red blood cells, due to mutation in gene that code for hemoglobin. The mutated genes for sickle-cell disease are found in higher percentage of sub-Saharan African population as it provides protection against malaria as compared to population of United States.

Malaria is common in sub-Saharan Africa region and there, natural selection favored gene for sickle cells, because it might be beneficial to people having sickle cell disease that makes them able to survive in such condition and transmit their genes to offspring.

On the other hand, in those Africans, who moved to United States, where malaria is uncommon or absent, natural selection favored normal, wild type genes, resulting in fewer people with defected sickle cell.

Thus, the evolutionary process behind this is 'natural selection.'
