We just went over this is my bio class. If you have 2 dominant healthy (non-sickle cell) traits, as in the first case, you are sickle cell free but at risk of malaria. On the contrary, if you have 2 recessive sickle-cell traits, you will have sickle-cell. The heterozygous situation is the trickiest to understand so I’ll go over it pretty slowly. Single the healthy allele is dominant, if you have one dominant and one recessive, you are a carrier and will have somewhat healthy cells. Your red blood cells will be fragile and pop relatively easily. How malaria works is it takes host of your red blood cells. However, with these fragile red blood cells, if malaria tries to take host, they pop. Therefore, you are immune to malaria because it cannot take goat of your cells, and you are also free of sickle-cell disease because it is a recessive trait. Comment if you would like me to explain this any further (:

What happens to temperature and pressure as the depth within the Earth increases?
Oduvanchick [21]

A prominence refers to a bright, large, gaseous feature projecting externally from the surface of the Sun, usually in a loop shape. Prominences are attached with the surface of the Sun in the photosphere and elongate outwards into the corona of the Sun.

The prominences are related to the discharge of the high energy constituents called a solar flare. These solar flares have been considered to influence electronic communication as their energy blends up the upper atmosphere of the Earth, making the radio transmissions weak and noisy.

Hence, the correct statements are prominences can disturb radio communications on Earth and prominences are loop-shaped.
