Answer:

Explanation:

Sickle-Cell Disease- An inherited blood disorder where red blood cells become sickle/crescent shaped. It is when the body produces red blood cells that are unstable!

As for why areas where malaria is common have high frequencies of the sickle-cell allele, It is believed by some as an example of natural selection at play. An interesting pattern of incidence of sickle cell has been observed in Africa, where malaria is a widely prevalent disease. The relation between sickle cell and anemia gains further ground on the fact, that there is a greater incidence of sickle cell in the African lowland populations, where malaria is severe and widespread than among their highland counterparts. It is believed that sickle cell provides resistance against the malarial parasite.

Why are all bacteria classified as prokaryotes?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Prokaryotes are simple cells that lack a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. A nucleus is a type of organelle that holds DNA. In prokaryotes, however, their DNA floats in the cytoplasm in a nuclear region rather than being contained in a nucleus.

What are the three general types of questions that perception helps us answer regarding our environment?
Lisa [10]

Explanation:

Because we always seek to make sense of any perceived stimulus to better understand the reality that surrounds us and act before it. Through perception we process information from the senses, with which the brain builds and tries to give meaning to those stimuli that reach it. However, each person captures, selects and organizes sensory stimuli differently and, therefore, arrives at different interpretations and responses when solving a problem, in which memory and experience also form a fundamental role. Thus, differences between perceptions help explain how people interpret the environment and why they behave differently in the same situation. For example, when we recognize a specific object, an action can be initiated, in which a motor activity is propitiated in response to that recognition, and which can be different in each person.
