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.

Which of the following is not a good polling technique? A. asking clear questions B. using a push poll C. using a large sample D
svetlana [45]
Question is which is NOT a good technique.
Answer is "B" and here's why:

A) Clear questions -- good. People understanding the question will answer accurately.
C) Large sample size -- good. Answers will be more accurate with more people asked (like if you flip a coin 1,000 times its going to be closer to 50% heads than if you only flipped it twice)
D) Random sample -- good. Avoids your own bias in choosing who to ask.

B) Push poll -- bad. Pretends to be unbiased, the pollster's real objective is to get a person thinking in a way that is to their advantage. Some political candidates do this just before elections.
