Sickle cell anemia, a recessive deadly blood cell disease, is much more common in tropical climates because carriers (heterozygo

tes) are resistant to a deadly parasitic disease carried by mosquitoes (malaria). Given this information which of the following scenarios is a possibility?
A. The widespread availability of any drug that protects a population from malaria will have the side effect of reducing deaths from sickle cell anemia over many generations.
B. Having malaria will begin to give immunity to sickle cell anemia as well.
C. Populations in areas where there are fewer mosquitoes will have more and more sickle cell anemia as time goes on.
D. Genetie drift will always be so strong in these populations that none of this selection will be impactful, even for extremely large populations.
E. Over many generations the mosquitses must develop sickle cell anemia too.

Answer:

B. Having malaria will begin to give immunity to sickle cell anemia as well.

Explanation:

Malaria is one of the common disease caused by mosquitoes. It is believed that sickle cell disease gets deadly when malaria happens to the person. Sickle cell disorder is the reduction in healthy red blood cells which can carry oxygen throughout the body.

1. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.
