According to our readings the only human adaptation to malaria is sickle-cell anemia?
the only human adaptation to malaria is sickle-cell anemia true?
Are people with sickle cell anemia resistant to malaria?
No they are generally resistant to malaria
Individuals with malaria have a better chance of surviving if they have which type of anemia?
Sickle-cell anemia
Is sickle cell anemia recessive or dominant?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
Do individuals who are heterozygous for sickle-cell anemia have a greater resistance to malaria?
Yes, individuals who are heterozygous for sickle-cell anemia have a greater resistance to malaria due to the presence of the sickle cell trait which makes it more difficult for the malaria parasite to survive in the red blood cells.
Where in the world are the most cases of Malaria and Sickle Cell anaemia?
Malaria is common in topical ad subtropical zones. The malaria has selected the people with sickle cell anaemia. Although person with sickle cell anemia can have malaria, the carrier, or the person with sickle cell trait is resistant to malaria.
What are good sources for researching malaria and sickle-cell anemia?
www.cdc.gov
What is the disease that attacks only negroes?

The genetic mutation that led to sickle cell anemia can also give its carriers protection from which what diseases?
malaria
Why are are people with the sickle cell trait able to resist malaria?
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic diseases that causes red blood cells to be shaped like sickles while normal red blood cells are shaped more like a cylinder. Malaria works by going into the red blood cells until they burst. Because of the strange shape of the red blood cells in people who have sickle cell anemia, malaria can't enter in the cells that have the sickle trait, but it can enter in the others. This way, people with sickle cell wouldn't be as adversely effected then those without it.
Individuals heterozygous for sickle-cell anemia appear normal and are resistant to what disease?
malaria
