Answer:

1 - Malaria

2- Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis

Explanation:

In case of malaria, the causal microorganism is Plasmodium falciparum, which target red blood cells of host. In humans who have defective sickle cell allele, have abnomral shaped red blood cells. So microorganism does not able to attach to abnormal shaped RBCs thus humans having sickle cell allele are more resistant to death caused by malaria.

In cystic fibrosis, mutation on that gene which encodes a protein known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

Normally Salmonella typhi (bacteria responsible for typhoid fever) enters into intestinal cells by attaching with CFTR receptor. Carriers of cystic fibrosis mutant gene, have abnormal CFTR thus reduced rate of entry of bacteria into carriers.

Normally Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bacteria responsible for tuberculosis) adds sulfate in its cell walls. In carriers of cystic fibrosis, arylsulfatase B activity is reduced which incorporates sulfate. Thus reduced arylsulfatase activity makes bacteria unable to add sulfate in its cell walls thus decreases their virulence to carriers of cystic fibrosis.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Procedural memory

Explanation:

Isabel has to recall the information about using a manual stick shift. For this reason, she is using long-term, explicit, declarative and episodic memory system.

Human memory system can be broadly classified as: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory.

Long-term memory is used to recall information. If the information are about facts, events and experiences then explicit, declarative and episodic memory helps to recall all information. This will help Isabel to recall all information about driving a car with a manual stick shift and she will be able to drive her sister's car.
