No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.
Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.
It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).
Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.
In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.
Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

Answer: Nutrients and Sunlight
Explanation:
Nutrients and sunlight are two important factors for photosynthesis. Nutrients are necessary for keeping the plant alive these nutrients such as inorganic minerals are obtained by plants through soil. The sunlight is essential for splitting the molecules of water so as to produce oxygen as a product along with carbohydrates.
