The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype “ss”). People with genotype “ss” survive only up to

14-15 years of age. People with “SS” are prone to malaria because the parasite resides inside their RBCs. People with genotype "Ss" are resistant to malaria because the parasite cannot reside inside their RBCs, and they can live a normal life (without sickle cell anemia). What kind of evolutionary force must be operative in South Africa?

Indeed, there are several alleles, providing protection against malaria, including allele of sickle-cell anemia (hemoglobin S), alpha- and beta-thalassemia, hemoglobin C and hemoglobin E. There are visible signs of strong selection pressure. First, abundance alleles suggests that the selection of supports almost any shape adaptation to the disease. Secondly, the pressure is so strong that despite the fact that almost all of these adaptations is very costly to their media, they are still maintained by selection.

Choose a scientific theory and describe the theory.
faltersainse [42]
I’m not 100% sure if this is a scientific theory but I’m going with the big bang theory. The big bang theory is a scientist best guess on how the world came to be. A 2013 map of the background radiation left over from the Big Bang, taken by the ESA's Planck spacecraft, captured the oldest light in the universe. This information helps astronomers determine the age of the universe.

If a boy exhibits a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome, what must be true?
ad-work [718]

Answer;

C. His mother carried at least one allele for that trait

Explanation;

-Men have a single allele of each gene on the X chromosome, inherited from their mother, and a single allele of each gene on the Y chromosome, from their father.

-A sex-linked trait is a trait that is controlled by a gene or an allele located on the sex chromosome.

-X-linked traits are maternally inherited from carrier mothers or from an affected father. Each son born to a carrier mother has a 50% probability of inheriting the X-chromosome carrying the mutant allele.
