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.

<h3><u>Turmeric powder can be adulterated in many different ways:</u></h3>
- Curcuma longa(Turmeric) is a strong base and is used as a domestic product.
<u>The possible adulteration and deterioration of Curcuma longa are as follows</u>:
- It can be mixed with chalk powder which results in production of small bubbles.
- When turmeric powder is mixed with water, it produces some streaks of soluble colour in water that is caused as a result of adulteration of lead chromate in turmeric powder.
