Which of the following relationships is an example of a mutualism
puteri [66]
Mutualism- in which two different organisms interact, and each organism benefits each other (think "positive, positive"; or " +,+ "). An example would be Oxpeckers and zebras or rhinos - In this relationship, the oxpecker (a bird) lives on the zebra or rhino, sustaining itself by eating all of the bugs and parasites on the animal. The bird benefits by having a readily available source of food. The zebra or rhino benefits from having the bugs removed. Also, when there is a danger to the zebra or the rhino, the oxpecker flies high and makes much noise in order to alert nearby animals to the impending danger (i.e. a predator).

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Sickle cell disease is passed on from parent to offspring. Sickle cell disea
allsm [11]

Answer: All the statements of the question are correct.

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by formation of defective hemoglobin protein, which results in sickle shaped RBC ( red blood cell).

This disease is caused by mutation in the gene that is responsible for the protein hemoglobin ( which transport oxygen throughout body).

It is inherited by the offspring when both the mutated copy of genes ( one from each parent) are passed to him.

Carriers of the disease exhibit increased resistance to malarial parasites by controlling the level of free haem in the blood ( through enzyme heme oxygenase that produces a toxic carbon monoxide gas). The resistance thus developed, is a mutation.

Therefore, all the statements in the given question are correct.
