Answer:

here.

Explanation:

Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.

A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.

An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.

A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.

Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.

Review the Protein to Trait Example. How did the differences in proteins lead to different traits for this feature?
stepan [7]

Answer:

Proteins are responsible for shaping and growth of an organism.

Explanation:

The differences in proteins lead to different in traits because it is the protein that determines the trait. The gene's sequence is like language that instructs cell to manufacture a particular protein that is necessary for the growth and development of the organism. These proteins shaped the structure of organisms so we can say that difference in traits occur due to difference in their proteins.
