Discuss what is meant by heterozygote advantage and use sickle-cell anemia as an example

Biology
1 answer:
vodomira [7]3 years ago
6 0
When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. In other words this occurs when heterozyhotes have increased fitness over both homozygotes.  A good example is sickcle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.

What are the 4 nitrogenous bases found in DNA and what are their appropriate pairings?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

DNA has four nucleobases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. The nucleobases in a DNA strand have preferred partners to form hydrogen bonds with. Cytosine pairs with guanine, and adenine pairs with thymine. These are the base pairing rules that allow DNA replication and protein synthesis to happen.
