Answer:
A) chromosomes is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Chromosomes are present in nuclei of animals and plants and they are composed of protein and DNA.
functions of chromosomes
- Chromosomes are required for the formation of daughter cells, replication and cell division process.
- Chromosomes carry the genetic material called DNA that provides genetic information to carry out the different cellular processes and functions.
Being or used to produce an organism or cell of one species into which one or more genes of another species have been incorporated
She introduced at least one confounding variable.- She tried to test multiple hypotheses at a time
In the above mentioned experiment she had to have four samples to prove
four hypotheses, each one separately and not to mix two hypotheses in an alone
sample, that what it brings as consequence is the confusion.
Answer:
Increased frequency of the allele for sickle cell anemia
Explanation:
Sickle cell anemia is fatal in homozygous genotype. The homozygous genotype having two copies of the allele for sickle cell anemia is not favored by natural selection due to its reduced survival success.
However, the heterozygous genotype for sickle cell anemia with one allele for the disease exhibit malaria resistant. The presence of one allele is not fatal for the organisms as the presence of one normal allele ensures the formation of some normal hemoglobin protein and RBCs to support the oxygen delivery to the body parts.
The increased survival success of heterozygous genotype in malaria-prone regions allowed their natural selection. This increased the frequency of allele for the sickle cell anemia in the gene pool of the local population and increased the frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype.
