The sickle-cell allele is pleiotropic (that is, it affects more than one phenotypic trait). Specifically, this allele affects ox

ygen delivery to tissues and affects one's susceptibility to malaria. Heterozygous individuals who have one normal and one sickle-cell allele have a phenotype that has both costs and benefits. The cost: Under conditions of low atmospheric oxygen availability, individuals heterozygous for this allele can experience life-threatening sickle-cell "crises." The benefit: Such individuals are less susceptible to malaria. Thus, pleiotropic genes/alleles reveal that ________.

Answer:

adaptations are compromises

Explanation:

The pleiotropic gene involved in sickle-cell anemia is an example of heterozygous advantage. This means that the heterozygous genotype is favourale over other two genotypes (recessive homozygous and dominant homozygous). Eventhough it has harmful effect (sickle cell disease carrier) heterozygous genotype enables resistance to infection (malaria) and that is why this genotype is still favourable by natural selection. This phenomenon is evidence of compromise between harmful ad benefit.

50 points and brainleist how can i gain weight if i was born 4 days early than due date DON'T GOOGLE
ivann1987 [24]
Being born a few days before your due date shouldn’t cause a big difference in your health. To gain weight you should try to eat thing high in protein, healthy fats, and some carbs. Most people try to gain weight by eating foods with a lot of saturated fat (is potato chips) but try to maintain a diet with a good calorie intake.

However I am not a professional and if you are worried about your weight, go to a nutritional to see what meal plan they will give you

This is what I try to eat, I am 100 pounds, 5.2, female.
Eggs (taste terrible in my opinion but are extremely nutritious) for breakfast
Salad with chicken for one meal
Meat dish with rice, or vegetables, sometimes spaghetti

Determine the level of measurement of the variable with explanation.
Pavlova-9 [17]

It has properties of the ordinal level of measurement and the differences in the values of the variable have meaning. A value of zero in the interval level of measurement does not mean the absence of the quantity. Arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction can be performed on values of the variable is called interval.  While nominal the values of the variables name, label or categorize. In addition, the naming scheme does not allow values of the variables to be arranged in a ranked or specific, order.

Please help ASAP! Describe at least one way in which each of Earth’s subsystems was altered during the Precambrian era.
trasher [3.6K]

The Precambrian era envelopes the major bulk of the history of the Earth, beginning from the creation of the planet approx 4.5 billion years ago and terminating with the origination of composite, multicelled forms of life approximately 4 billion years after.

The Precambrian refers to the earliest of the geologic ages that are signified by the distinct layers of sedimentary rock. The Earth was about more than six hundred million years old when life started. The planet had cooled down from its native molten state, creating a solid crust and oceans formed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

At about three billion years ago, the atmosphere of the Earth was virtually devoid of oxygen. At approximately 2.4 billion years ago, oxygen was discharged from the seas as a waste product of photosynthesis by cyanobacteria. The levels of the gas slowly raised, attaining about 1 percent around two billion years ago.

Approximately 800 million years ago, the levels of oxygen attained about 21 percent and started to breathe life into more composite species. The oxygen-rich ozone layer was also created, protecting the surface of the Earth from the harmful solar radiation.
