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.

When a muscle contract, it will become shorten. To kick a ball, there are many muscles used for moving the leg. Muscle from the thigh will move the lower leg and the power of kick comes from this muscle group. The muscle in the lower leg will control the feet and determine whether kick using the front or side of the feet.
Since the muscle in one side contract, the opposite muscle in the muscle pair will be flexed. The muscle in flex condition will be lengthened.
The best answer is A.
The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure. The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids in each polypeptide chain which make up a protein.
The sequence of amino acids is basically a list of amino acids that are linked to each other to form a chain which is known as a polypeptide chain.
The structure of the finished protein will depend largely on the first (primary) chain of amino acids to be produced to make up that protein.
The correct option is this: MARIA'S WATER USE IS CONSUMPTIVE.
Water use can be consumptive or non consumptive. Consumptive water use refers to the process of using water in such a way that the water used can not be returned to the water resources system.
The water that Maria used to shower, the one she drank and the one she used to wash her laundry are waste water, which are not returned to the central water resources system, thus, Maria's water use is consumptive.
