They can be maintained in a gene pool if they are expressed before 
<span>reproductive age.</span>


For example:
Sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin in red blood cells. hemoglobin is the red pigment found in red blood cells for carrying oxygen.The abnormality arises from a genetic mutation in the DNA gene that codes for the  beta chain of the protein called globin of which hemoglobin is made of.In the beta chain, the sixth amino acid called glutamine is replaced by another one called valine.This one change in the amino acids cause the hemoglobin protein  to behave abnormally, causing  red blood cells to lose their normal spherical shape and become bent like a sickle, hence the name "sickle cell" anemia

Answer:

Last option.  

Explanation:

Lethal alleles can be defined as the alleles that can cause organism's death having lethal alleles. This is because these alleles are resulted from mutations in genes, which are essential for proper growth and development.

Although lethal alleles are harmful, they can be maintained in gene pool if they express in an organism before his reproductive age as mutations can be passed from one generation to other if mutations are expressed in germline cells before reproduction.

Thus, the correct answer is last option.

Answer:

Reforestation offers one of the best ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, turning it into solid carbon through photosynthesis and storing it in tree trunks, branches, roots, and soil.

The countries that have the most forest-ready land are: Russia, Canada, Brazil, Australia, United States and China. The four major strategies are: Increase the amount of forested land through reforestation. Increase density of existing forests at a stand and landscape scale.

We estimate that reforestation since 2000 is on pace to remove 103 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere between 2020-2050. Increasing the pace of tropical reforestation would remove substantial amounts of additional carbon dioxide at low cost.

I hope this is correct, and it helps.

Some nebulae(singular form of nebula) are also found where new stars are being formed.

Nebula are the basic building blocks of the universe,they are made up 90% hydrogen,10% helium and other heavier elements in trace amounts from which stars and other solar systems are made.

Nebula exist in 5 distinct types namely;

Emission nebulae, Reflection nebulae,Dark nebulae, Planetary Nebulae and supernova remnants Nebulae.
