This is a lot, but since they all related to each other I had to post as one question, please answer
all.
Individuals who are homozygous for allele #2 have sickle-shaped RBCs 24 hours a day. However,
individuals who are heterozygous for the gene have sickle-shaped RBCs only when the RBCs
become "overworked" or "stressed"; otherwise, heterozygotes have normal-shaped RBCs.
Examples of things that may cause a heterozygote's RBCs to become sickle-shaped include: (1)
strenuous exercise, (2) exposure to high altitudes, and (3) exposure to pathogens that infect
RBCs. The shaded areas in the map below represent parts of the world where the Anopheles
mosquito is most prevalent. This is the mosquito that transmits the malaria parasite (which
specifically infects RBCs ). It turns out that this parasite has a very difficult time infecting an RBC if
it's sickle-shaped. (b) Suppose that, thousands of years ago, everyone living in North America was
homozygous for Allele #1. If a baby was born that carried a mutation (one that converted Allele #1
to Allele #2), do you believe that this baby would have an advantage or disadvantage as
compared to others on North America? Explain your answer. Relate your answer to the
information given above.(c) Now suppose that, thousands of years ago, everyone living in the
Middle East and South Asia was homozygous for Allele #1. If a baby was born that carried a
mutation (one that converted Allele #1 to Allele #2), do you believe that this baby would have an
advantage or disadvantage as compared to others in the Middle East and South Asia? Explain
your answer.(d) Based on your answers to parts b&c, you can hypothesize that, TODAY, the
sickle-cell allele (a.k.a. Allele #2) is more commonly found in people who have... (BOLD the
correct answer) North American ancestry or Middle Eastern/South Asian ancestry (e) Explain your
answer to part d. (f) Consider individuals who live in Europe and have 100% European ancestry. Is
it possible for any of these individuals to have the sickle cell allele? Why or why not?
