e for increased resistance to malaria. If modern technology were to completely eradicate malaria but not alleviate sickle-cell disease, what would be expected to happen to the sickle-cell allele frequency in subsequent generations?

Answer:

There will be an increase in frequency, if there is continuous reproduction within humans with the heterozygous genotype but a decrease if there is a continuous reproduction of heterozygous humans and non-carriers of the allele.

Explanation:

The heterozygous genotype gives an advantage for malaria resistance however, if malaria was completely eradicated and the heterozygous genotypes continue to reproduce within one another, there will be an increased frequency of sickle cell allele. However, if heterozygous alleles were to reproduce with individuals without the allele, there will be a decrease in the frequency of the allele in the human population. If this trend continues, there will be ao less a frequency of the allele that it's presence could be completely lost.

Feliz [49]
<span>The answer is letter D. <span>

<span>Interval training is usually performed by seasoned or well-trained individuals because of the high demand of speed and degrees of effort needed. Due to the nature of alternating exercise activities within the program, it is preferred by some individuals because it is fast and does not cause boredom. Beginners should not engage in this type of training because of its explosive nature. Through rigorous and a systematic training, beginners can eventually transition to this type of exercise provided that they have been previously cleared because they have already perfected and mastered the form of particular exercises.</span></span></span> <span> </span>
