What might happen to the sickle-cell mutation if malaria in Africa were eliminated?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vichka [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The allele for sickle cell would gradually be eliminated from the populations over generations. This is because while initially natural selection favoured and fitted the allele in the environment because its bearers are less vulnerable to malaria, sickle cells also result in reduced capacity of the red blood cells to carry oxygen to tissues. Therefore in the absence of Malaria, sickle cell would thereby offer a disadvantage to an individual hence be eliminated by natural selection.

A current of 0.15 A is passed through an aqueous solution of K2PtCl4. How long will it take to deposit 1.00 g Pt(s) (M = 195.1)?
murzikaleks [220]

First calculate the electric charge used to deposit 1.0 g Pt

C = (1.0 g Pt) (1 mol Pt / 195.1 g Pt) ( 2 mol e / 1 mol Pt) ( 96485 C / 1 mol e)

C = 989.08 C

C = It

Where I is the current

T is the time

T = C / i

T = 989.08 C / 0.15 A

T = 6593.88 s

T = 1.83 hrs

When 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, a(n) ______________ is emitted
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - alpha particle and positron.

Explanation:

In this question, it is given that, 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, which means there is an atomic number decrease by 4, 38 to 34, and atomic mass decreases by 4 as well 88 to 84.

A decrease in the atomic mass is possible only when there is an emission of the alpha particle as an alpha particle is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. If an atom emits an alpha particle, there is a change in atomic number as it decreases by two, and its mass number decreases by four.

So after the emission of an alpha particle, the new atom would be

38^88Sr=> 36^84X => 34^84Kr

so there is also two positron emission that leads to decrease in atomic number by one with each emission:

38^88Sr=> 2^4He+ 36^84X => 36^84X + 2(1^0β+) => 34^84Kr

Positron decay is the conversion of a proton into a neutron with the emission of a positron that causes the atomic number is decreased by one, which causes a change in the elemental identity of the daughter isotope.
