Ans.
Sickle-cell disorder is a genetic disorder, which shows defected red blood cells, due to mutation in the genes for hemoglobin protein.
Malaria is common in sub-Saharan Africa region and there, natural selection favored gene for sickle cells, because it might be beneficial to people having sickle cell disease that makes them able to survive in such condition and transmit their genes to offspring.
On the other hand, in those Africans, who moved to United States, where malaria is uncommon or absent, natural selection favored normal, wild type genes, resulting in fewer people with defected sickle cell.
Hence, sub-Saharan African population shows higher percentage of mutated gene for sickle cell as compared to population of United States.
Thus, the evolutionary process behind this difference is 'natural selection.'
Answer:
Approximately 90% of all living plants are group of Angiosperm
Answer:
In natural environments, horses typically live in relatively stable social units. Horses live in herds so that they are able to fulfil their basic needs, which are to avoid danger or harm, and to reproduce successfully and bring up healthy foals.
Answer:
1. 39 J; 2. 3.9 % usable; 3. 96.1 % unusable
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Available energy
Energy consumed = 1000 J
Less waste = - 177 J
Less respiration = <u>-784 J
</u>
Total energy lost = <u>-961 J
</u>
Available energy = 39 J
2. Percent of total energy usable
The chipmunk could use only 39 J of the original 1000 J.
% of energy usable = 39 J/1000 J × 100 % = 3.9 %
3. Percent of energy unusable
The chipmunk lost 961 J of the original 1000 J.
% of energy unusable = 961 J/1000 J × 100 % = 96.1 %
