How can alleles that cause serious diseases, such as sickle cell disease, still provide an advantage to the human population?

Certain alleles may cause serious diseases in a given environment but they may also be beneficial in different environmental conditions. It is a principle of natural selection.

<h3>Natural selection and alleles</h3>

Natural selection refers to the differential survival and reproduction of an organism in a given environment.

Certain alleles such as the allele of sickle cell disease show an evolutionary advantage in specific environmental conditions.

This allele is lethal in homo-zygous individuals, thereby tending to be eliminated from the population.

However, in regions where malaria is endemic, the presence of carriers individual having the sickle cell allele is advantageous to prevent this disease.

If a meal supplies 110 g of carbohydrates, 25 g of protein, 20 g of fat, and the equivalent of 5 g of alcohol, what % of the kca
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.058 % kcalories comes from carbohydrate.

Explanation:

1 g of carbohydrtes gives 4 calories, 1 g of protein gives 4 kcalories, 1 gm of fat gives 9 calories and 1 g of alcohol gives 7 calories of energy.

Thus in a meal  that contains 110 g carbohydrates gives 110 x 4 = 440 calories,  25 g protein gives 25 x 4 = 100 calories, 20 g fat gives 20 x 9 = 180 calories and 5 g alcohol gives 5 x 7 =  35 calories.

Total calories in a meal  440+100+180+35 = 755.

Therefore % of carbogydrate will be 440x 100 divided by 755 = 58.27 %

In kcalories % would be 58.27/1000 = 0.5827 %

What might happen if some lysosomal enzymes are absent?​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main fuction of lysosomal enzymes like lipases ,proteases, carbohydrases is to hydrolyse/digest various unwanted material in the cell. And sometimes to digest some nutrient in the cell.

These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates,proteins,lipids and nucleic acids. Lysosomal enzymes are produced by a memberane bound cell organel called lysosome.

WHAT IF LYSOSOMAL ENZYMES ARE ABSENT:

==> If lysosomal enzymes are absent then build up of various unwanted substances increase to a abnormal level, which may increase toxicity in the cell.

==>build up of various dead or unwated cells in the body will increase,since lysosome have the capacity to digest its own cell.

==> absence of lysosome will will cause the cells to starve,since most of the nutrients in the cells are digested by lysosome enzyme.

==> Can cause a high risk of disease,since lysosome digest its own cell if it is infected with some microbial activity.
