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.

Do all social hazards result from an individuals lifestyle choice? Explain
Alecsey [184]
I think in someway social hazards do affect you. But then again you choose who you are and how you choose to react to things. Seeing things like the walkout on social media might make you happy that kids are standing up against gun control. But then you could see the news of syria kids, and you could immediately feel depressed or sad. I know social media has definitely made me feel insecure and lonely, makes other people's lives look better than mine.<span />
