Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.

Answer:Increase in ambient global temperatures.

Recyling energy to be used again

Regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels

An increase of erosion and siltation along waterways

Explanation:

Conservational biologists think about the preservation of ecosystem by maintaining the environment in a human control way.

Increase in ambient global temperatures.: The humans must prevent the increase in global temperature worldwide by preventing the rise of greenhouse gases which can lead to global warming worldwide.

Recyling energy to be used again: The sources of energy like wood, waste water can be recycled again for reutilization.

Regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.: The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be regulated. As oxygen is the basic requirement for respiration. The increase in carbon dioxide levels due to human activities is likely to cause respiratory diseases and health hazards in living beings.

An increase of erosion and siltation along waterways.: The erosion and siltation will likely to deposit nutrients and debris which may either contaminate the waterway or may cause eutrophication.
