No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.
Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.
It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).
Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.
In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.
Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

Answer:
I believe it is C. Crawfish prefer the food source at location 4.
Explanation:
Increase in urbanization will lead to increase in the number of people who are living in an urban area and it will also lead to increase in development in that area. The increase in development can come in form of construction of industries, which release large amount of waste products that pollute the air. This will lead to air pollution and reduce air quality. Development can also be in form of availability of electricity, that makes it possible for people to operate different electrical gadgets such as radio and television, which can result in noise pollution. Increase in the number of people who operate motor vehicles will also lead to increase in air pollution, which is caused by fossils fuel.
Answer:
Volume
Explanation:
The boiling point and density of water never changes, no matter how much you add
So the answer CAN'T be Boiling point or Density
Electrical Conductivity changes <em>only when the number of ions in a solution changes</em>
So it CAN'T be Electrical Conductivity
It has to be VOLUME because volume is the only physical property that changes when you add or take away liquid from a liquidous mixture
