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.

How does the phenomena of survive of the fittest relates to peppered moth simulation?
IgorC [24]
Peppered moth stimulation is an experimental setup that show the behavior of moth in relation to their environment. The objective of the setup is to stimulate changes in moth population as a result of pollution and predation. 
Peppered moth stimulation relates to the survival of the fittest because the moth with the most adaptive ability will be able to survive despite the negative forces in the environment. The bright colored moth was able to survive the pollution in the environment and retains its colour while the black coloured moth change its colour to black due to the pollution int the environment.

Describe a horse walks along a straight path it travels 3 m in one second 4 m in the next second and 5 m in the third second des
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: The motion is accelerated.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that the horse is walking along a straight line.

The horse travels 3 m in first second, so its speed is 3m/s.

In the next second, the horse travels 4 m, so its speed is 4 m/s.

In the third second, the horse travels 5 m, so its speed is 5 m/s.

Since the speed of the horse is increasing per second i.e., the speed in not constant, so the motion of the horse is accelerated.
