The frequency of the sickle cell allele in areas where malaria is introduced will increase and it will be advantageous.

When a person is heterozygous for sickle cell anemia, it means it has one abnormal allele of the hemoglobin beta gene but doesn’t express the disease (like homozygous person).

On the other hand, a person heterozygotes for sickle-cell trait has a selective advantage in environments where malaria is present.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

An increase in the number of H+ ion in the lake with many aquatic would cause cell shrinkage by the removal of water from the cell.

Explanation:

Every organism tries to maintain a constant PH inside their body to regulate the homeostasis of their body.

                     An increase in the number of H+ ion or proton in a lake will increase the osmotic pressure of the water present in the lake.As the osmotic pressure of Lake"s water is increased it will draw water out from the the cells of aquatic organism causing the cells to shrink thus decreasing the volume of the cell and if the H+ ion concentration rises at a high level cell death can occur.

What happens to the abundance of angiosperm and gymnosperm pollen fossils at the kt boundary?
dimaraw [331]
The KT boundary marks a mass extinction event. the KT boundary is the time between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. An asteroid hit the earth at the end of the Cretaceous and that caused the end of the Cretaceous period. Before the KT boundary, pollen from angiosperms and gymnosperms is high. After the meteor hits the earth, a mass extinction occurs and the amount of pollen from gymnosperms and angiosperms decreases dramatically, while the amount of spores from ferns increases. During the Cretaceous period there were many species of gymnosperms and angiosperms but they disappeared at the KT boundary, when the asteroid hit the earth.
