After hundreds or even thousands of generations both alleles for sickle cell anemia are still common in those of African ancestry. This is supported by two mechanisms: heterozygote advantage and gene flow.

Heterozygote advantage
When an allele is said to be heterozygous, it is carrying one copy of a gene. For example if one carries a copy of sickle cell allele, it will stay in the population even after many generations — natural selection will not be able to remove it and it will be passed on through generations. So, having one copy of that allele is advantageous but not deleterious.

Gene flow
With humans migrating throughout the different parts of the world, sickle cell allele is passed from one person to another or in different populations. It is actually advantageous to have one copy of this allele especially if there’s malaria in the area, which the allele is resistant.

Which term identifies the process used by the cell to remove large molecules?
GarryVolchara [31]

The right answer is Exocytosis.

In a eukaryotic cell, exocytosis is a mechanism of material release by invagination of the cytoplasmic membrane. It consists of a spillage of the products of a vesicle outside the cell, by fusion of the plasma membrane with the membrane of this vesicle.

Its opposite (or reverse) is endocytosis. In the case of a vacuole, see the exocytosis vacuole.

Assuming that the motion of the object remains the same, at what position will the object be when it had traveled for a total of
professor190 [17]

Answer:

B. 0 m

Explanation:

From the position - time graph, the object would have traveled a distance of 0m after 6s.

The graph shows a decrease in distance traveled with increasing time.

  • the y - axis is the position of the body
  • the x - axis is the the time taken

If we trace up the time taken to the curve, the position will be 0m.

Therefore, the position of the body after 6s is at 0m.
