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.

Answer:
The correct answer is A. transplanted organs contain antigens that can trigger white blood cell activity
Explanation:
The body's immune system is designed to seek out and destroy any foreign object it finds in the body, such as a cold or flu virus - or a transplanted organ. The process of destruction of the transplanted organ is called rejection.Immunosuppressive drugs will be provided to prevent your immune system from damaging the transplanted organ. Organ transplants require the use of immunosuppressive drugs capable of controlling the immune response triggered by the presence of antigens foreign to the body itself. The group of immunosuppressants is made up of drugs indicated both in the prevention of rejection of the transplanted organ and in its reversal.
Covalent bond because a covalent bond is when it only shares electrons and it doesn't give or lose.
Answer: The correct answer is choice D.
Explanation: We can see on the cladogram that these two are in the same branch and lead to the same common ancestor. These two happen to share the most recent common ancestor, however.
