Answer:

The character of sickle cell anaemia does not get fixed in the population Because it has more disadvantages than advantages

Explanation:

Any character will get fixed in the population if the character provides the progeny certain advantage to reproduce better.The rate of malaria infection is low, but such people may have breathing difficulties and organs may fail due to the wrinkled RBC's not able to flow smoothly in the arteries and hence causing blockages. the character may be recessive but again the amount of oxygen carried per healthy RBC is less and that makes breathing difficult . so as a character its a disadvantage for the person who is a career and hence not being selected to be fixed.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

B. The findings are not meaningful or valid because of the way she designed her study.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, a control group is a group of individuals/subjects that do not receive the experimental treatment. The control group is used to determine how much of an impact a treatment (in this case, cadmium intake) has on the variables being examined in the participants who are subjected to the experimental treatment. In any experiment, it is imperative to include a control group in order to validate experimental results. In this case, it is not possible to confirm that the loss of weight and abnormal hormone levels are due to cadmium uptake because only a control group would elucidate the contribution of cadmium intake on the variables being tested.

Which of the following is often found in individuals who are active and eating a healthy diet?
iogann1982 [59]
When it comes to blood circulation, a good and effective blood circulation is one that provides the body with a lot of nutrients - so what we want is for example an increased blood circulation to the body, but we don't want for example a decreased blood flow to some organs - those organs would then not receive the necessary nutrition. Healthy lifestyle provides good things to the body - so the answer is D, since it's the only good thing. Decreased area in blood vessels would again diminish the nutrition to some organs and a high blood pressure is also not good - it carries a risk of some diseases. <span /><span>
