and HbS (defective hemoglobin) have varying frequencies and while the HbS gene is present in populations it is important to understand how Malaria in particular can affect the sickle cell frequency. The way that diseases such as malaria impact the HbS gene may be different than how populations unaffected by malaria are impacted by HbS. What will happen to the sickle cell frequency in the presence of Malaria? Hypothesis: 1: In the presence of malaria‚ the sickle cell allele frequency HbS will

changes in allele frequencies in a population as a result of a selective force Hypothesis The starting ratio of HbA to HbS is 3:1; in a typical population‚ the Homozygous Dominant Gene would become the standard‚ but because carrying the Heterozygous version of the allele has an advantage to fighting Malaria it will become the dominant Allele for the population. The HbA/HbS gene will thrive because it helps in the fight against Malaria‚ turning a typically negative trait into an advantage. The

which is caused by a mutant allele (Hb-) which in the homozygous condition in the past was often fatal to people at quite young ages. The mutation causes the formation of abnormal‚ sickle-shaped red blood cells that clog vessels‚ cause organ damage‚ and are inefficient transporters of oxygen. Individuals who are heterozygous (Hb-Hb+) have the sickle-cell trait (a mild form of the disease)‚ which is not fatal. Scientists were surprised to find a high frequency of the Hb- allele in populations in Africa
