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.

Just remember how many electrons can each sublevel hold.

S=2
P=6
D=10

Since we have 10 for atomic number, we can assume we have 10 electrons

1S2
2S2
2P6
The rest have zero because we already have 10 (2+2+6=10)

The ccl4 formed in the first step is used as a reactant in the second step. if 2.00 mol of ch4 reacts, what is the total amount
Leni [432]
<span>CH4 + 4 Cl2 → CCl4 + 4 HCl (4.00 mol CH4) x (1/1) x (0.70) = 2.80 mol CCl4 (4.00 mol CH4) x (4/1) x (0.70) = 11.2 mol HCl CCl4 + 2 HF → CCl2F2 + 2 HCl (2.80 mol CCl4) x (2/1) x (0.70) = 3.92 mol HCl 11.2 mol + 3.92 mol = 15.1 mol HCl from both steps</span>
