Answer

HBA HBs

Explanation:

In some parts of Africa, up to 20% of the population are carriers of the sickle cell gene. This suggests that the trait must have a survival value. The carriers of the trait have a much lower susceptibility to malaria than normal individuals. This is because the malaria parasite survives very poorly in sickled red blood cells.

Wolves feed on a variety of large prey, including elk. Elk feed on shrubs and trees like aspen and cottonwood trees.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Population size of elk increased while the population of aspen tree declined.

Explanation:

As per question, removal of wolves from the system would result in increased elk population due to absence of its predator (wolves). The increased elk population would extensively feed on  shrubs and trees like aspen and cottonwood trees. This would cause decline in population size of these shrubs and trees.
