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.

Why would be expect there to be fewer foxes than caterpillars in this ecosystem?
iren2701 [21]
Foxes eat a variety of animals, which includes caterpillars. On the contrary, most caterpillars eat only plants. In any ecosystem, you always have a larger number of plants than the number of animals which eat plants, and you have an even smaller number of animals which eat other animals. That is related to the flow of energy in the ecosystem:
1) The sun provides solar energy and plants use part of it for photosyntesis. Later, that energy will be stored by the plant as chemical energy.
2) Herbivore animals eat some of the plants, in order to use their chemical energy. Animals can never eat all plants because that would lead to extinction. Besides, part of the chemical energy of the plants they have eaten is wasted because it converts into heat energy.
3) Carnivore animals eat herbivore animals. Same conclusion, they can never eat all herbivore animals and they cannot use all their energy. If they are ominvore, they are sort of sharing the plants with herbivores, so herbivores can eat less plants.
Malnutrition reduces the population, so less food leads to smaller population.
