Answer:
if all the frogs die, their predators will not get food.
also, the organisms that the frogs prey on will over populate because of no predators.
What do we know about heredity and sickle cell disease?
Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited blood disorder in the United States. Approximately 100,000 Americans have the disease.
In the United States, sickle cell disease is most prevalent among African Americans. About one in 12 African Americans and about one in 100 Hispanic Americans carry the sickle cell trait, which means they are carriers of the disease.
Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-Beta gene found on chromosome 11. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. Red blood cells with normal hemoglobin (hemoglobin-A) are smooth and round and glide through blood vessels.
In people with sickle cell disease, abnormal hemoglobin molecules - hemoglobin S - stick to one another and form long, rod-like structures. These structures cause red blood cells to become stiff, assuming a sickle shape. Their shape causes these red blood cells to pile up, causing blockages and damaging vital organs and tissue.
Sickle cells are destroyed rapidly in the bodies of people with the disease, causing anemia. This anemia is what gives the disease its commonly known name - sickle cell anemia.
The sickle cells also block the flow of blood through vessels, resulting in lung tissue damage that causes acute chest syndrome, pain episodes, stroke and priapism (painful, prolonged erection). It also causes damage to the spleen, kidneys and liver. The damage to the spleen makes patients - especially young children - easily overwhelmed by bacterial infections.
A baby born with sickle cell disease inherits a gene for the disorder from both parents. When both parents have the genetic defect, there's a 25 percent chance that each child will be born with sickle cell disease.
If a child inherits only one copy of the defective gene (from either parent), there is a 50 percent chance that the child will carry the sickle cell trait. People who only carry the sickle cell trait typically don't get the disease, but can pass the defective gene on to their children.
Sickle Cell Disease
An inherited disease in which the red blood cells have an abnormal crescent shape, block small blood vessels, and do not last as long as normal red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation (change) in a gene.

Explanation:
The cross of a pea plant with round seeds (RR) with another pea plant with wrinkled seeds (rr) is shown as under :
P RR x rr
F1 Rr Rr Rr Rr
It is clear from the cross above, all the 4 probable progenies in filial 1 (F1) generation will be heterozygous with Rr genotype. Not even a single progeny will have homozygous recessive genotype which is responsible for producing wrinkled seeds. Also, even though the genotype of the progenies will be Rr not RR yet phenotypically they all will have round seeds i.e. they will show dominant trait. The reason behind it is that one of the alleles R which is responsible for dominant trait will mask the expression of recessive allele r. So, wrinkled phenotype which is a recessive trait will not be observed in any of the progenies.
