The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype "ss"). People with genotype "ss" survive only up to

lions [1.4K]

The answer is stabilizing selection.

Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.

Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss, disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.

Solnce55 [7]

The right answer is: D. the formation of clouds

Condensation is the second stage of the water cycle. The water vapor circulating in the atmosphere will encounter a colder air and it will turn into droplets, this phenomenon is called condensation.
Water droplets accumulate in the form of clouds of different shapes, density, and altitude. This phenomenon is called condensation. Water vapor travels on the surface of the earth in the form of clouds.
