Sickle-cell anemia is a genetically inherited disease. Homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infec

ted with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become ill and may die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have sickled red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the hemoglobin disorder. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some sickling of red blood cells, but generally not enough to cause death. In addition, the heterozygotes tend to survive better than either of the homozygous conditions as they are resistant to malaria. If 16% of an African population is born with a severe form of sickle-cell anemia (ss), what percentage of the population will be heterozygous (Ss) for sickle-cell and therefore resistant to malaria?

Answer:

A) Power plant

Explanation:

The key to understanding this question, is first knowing what "stationary" means. When something is stationary, it doesn't move, it just stays in one place.

Since power plants are buildings, they naturally don't move. On the other hand, the other choices are all vehicles that are intended to move. So while all of these options do cause air pollution, the power plant is the only one that is stationary.

I hope this answer helps you :)
