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.

Define acceleration. Write its formula and SI unit . pls answer my question!​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

the rate of change of velocity with time is called acceleration.

it can also be defined as the increase in velocity per second.

The S.I. unit of acceleration is meter per second square or ms−2.

formula; a = Δv / Δt

where a is acceleration,

Δv is the change in velocity,

and Δt is the amount of time it took for that change to occur.

fredd [130]

Answer:

Cerebrum

Explanation:

Memory is a complex process and the stored memory is the past experience of the human being. They are formed by thinking and different events done by the human.  

The cerebrum of the brain involves thinking and memory. This is the largest part of the brain having different sub-parts. They are especially the hippocampus, temporal lobe, limbic system which involves different types of memory.

Cerebrum involves in hearing, speech, movement control, learning.

The limbic system is part of the cerebral cortex. It is concerned with emotion, behavior,  memory.

The long term memory is dealt with by the hippocampus. This type of memory gets active when a person wants to recall something or memorize a thing for a long time.

The temporal lobe involves listening to a sound and store some short term memory. Other lobes of cerebrum involve sensory memory like vision, taste, smell, etc.
