A. They live for only 120 days is correct. They are created in the bone marrow and destroyed in the spleen "red blood cells graveyard"

B. They have multiple Nuclei. Red blood cells don't have a nucleus but some can present structures called Jolly's bodies that are small pieces of the nucleus that they lost in the differentiation process

C. They only live for only about 20 days. No, red blood cells live for about 120 days

D. Once created in bone marrow, they circulate for our lifetime. Again, they have a limited lifetime

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.
