Sickle cell trait is apparently an adaptation for the prevention of Malaria. Sickle cell trait is a condition in which the red blood cells are abnormally shaped, if they inherit two faulty copies of the gene for the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin. The faulty gene persists because even carrying one copy of it confers some resistance to malaria. As a result, the frequencies of sickle cell carriers are high in malaria endemic areas.

The net primary productivity is usually more than 80% of gross primary productivity.

fomenos

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

As GPP stands for the gross primary productivity, it's the total amount of energy produced in the process and the NPP is the net primary productivity. NPP is the difference between the GPP and the energy used by the producer for the process of respiration.

GPP is a continuous and ongoing process that consumes the energy as compared to the NPP that store energy and not being used. Thus, GPP can affect NPP but NPP does not affect GPP.

For example, GPP is completely being dependent on the chlorophyll content of the plant, but NPP is independent of that content of chlorophyll.
