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.

While you are returning from lunch, a frantic woman flags you down and states that she just found a young child on the roadside
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer to the question: You should immediately... while talking about a woman who flagged you after lunch to inform you that she has found a young child by the roadside, who seems not to be breathing, and who seems to have been hit by a car, would be, B: Advise dispatch that you have been flagged down for a possible emergency.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the correct answer, instead of simply calling for assistance, calming the woman down, or grabbing your equipment and getting to the child´s location is that you have been informed of a possible emergency, but you are not yet sure of what exactly has happened, and if everything the woman has related, is accurate. As such, the first thing you need to do is inform dispatch that you have been informed of a possible situation so that they ready the necessary support in case the emergency is real, and it is all that was made out to be. Then, you must go and assess the situation.
