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.

In ocean waves, water particles move ________ and energy moves ________. A) vertically; in circles B) in circles; horizontally C
son4ous [18]
In ocean waves, water particles move in circles and energy moves horizontally. Ocean waves are orbital progressive waves. The water molecules that make up the wave move in circles, or orbits, as the wave progresses. The ocean orbital waves get their start when wind blows on the open ocean, A gentle wind doesn't have much of an effect, but the stronger wind becomes the more it pushes against the water. It transfers energy to the water as it makes peaks and whitecaps in the water's surface.
