Sicle cell disease (SCD) is found in numerous populations whose ancestral homes are in the malaria belt of Africa and Asia. SCD

is an autosomal recessive disorder that results from homozygosity for a mutant β-globin gene allele. Data on one affected population indicates that approximately 8 in 100 newborn infants have SCD.Epidemiologic data on this population reveal that before the application of modern medical treatment, natural selection played a major role in shaping the frequencies of alleles. Heterozygous individuals have the highest relative fitness, and in comparison to heterozygotes, those who are βAβA have a relative fitness of 89 percent, but only about 43 percent of those with SCD survived to reproduce. What is the frequency of the wild-type (beta A) allele in this population? Express your answer using two decimal places. What is the frequency of the mutant (beta 8) allele in this population? Express your answer using two decimal places. What is the frequency of carriers of SCD in the population? Express your answer using two decimal places.

inessss [21]

From the options what can be said about this disease is that ( B ) : The Pathogen replicates without using host cells' replication machinery and it is directly transmitted.

Since The new disease transmits from one person to another via handshake that means that the disease is a directly transmitted disease, also given that the disease can be cured with the use of antibiotics shows that the causative agent is not a virus but a bacteria. bacteria are living organisms with their own machinery for self replication, therefore they do not need the host cell to replicate the disease before transmission.

Hence we can conclude that the disease is caused by a Pathogen which replicates without using host cells' replication machinery and it is directly transmitted.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Ionizing radiation

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation is a method of sterilization that can be used to sterilze material that can not withstand some higher temperature and cannot be exposed to water for sterilization.

It is form of energy that is released when atoms is released to move in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. such as; X-rays or Gamma rays particles,neutrons, alpha or beta.

It could be dangerous if atoms inliving cells is exposed to it because the cell will be ionized, and it can lead to death of cell , or the mutatation of cell and can lead to cancer. Although not all cells are affected by ionizing radiation.

1)X-Rays, X-rays move in the form of photons energy .

2)Alpha Particles. Alpha particles have less penetration than gamma ray they don't penetrate skin as x-rays

3)Beta Particles, they are particles of electrons which are faster than alpha particles.
