Answer:

The main role of mitochondrion is the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Explanation:

The main role of mitochondrion is the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is obtained, for example, through the phosphorylation of ADP [adenosine diphosphate]).

Mitochondrion obtain energy through aerobic respiration. When oxygen is scarce, they can obtain it by anaerobic fermentation, though.

Mitochondrion have many other functions and roles.

Discuss what is meant by heterozygote advantage and use sickle-cell anemia as an example
vodomira [7]
When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. In other words this occurs when heterozyhotes have increased fitness over both homozygotes.  A good example is sickcle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.
