Answer:

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that turns normal, round blood cells into misshaped cells that look like sickles or crescent moons. These sickled cells can get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow and causing severe pain as well as damage to organs, muscles, and bones. Sickle cell disease is inherited, passed from parent to child. Children with sickle cell disease have two defective genes, one from each parent. A child born with sickle cell trait inherited one defective gene from one parent, and a normal gene from the other parent. These children don't have sickle cell disease but are carriers of the defective gene and may pass it on to their children.

What would require more land to grow food crops? If all humans ate only vegetables
jasenka [17]

Answer:

If all humans ate only meat, will require more land to grow food crops

Explanation:

1) Currently, over 60% of the world food crops are eaten by animals. Given that food crops are generally consumed more than meat in a proportion of 8:1, if all humans ate only meat, the amount of land required to grow food crops will have to be increased by at least 400%

2) Presently, animal agriculture makes use of 70% of lands allocated to agriculture, such that increasing the livestock by an extra 400% will lead to mass deforestation in order to produce livestock feeds

3) It is more costlier to produce livestock than to produce crops, which will make the availability and allocation of land essential for the raising of livestock in order to reduce costs, thereby taking more land.
