Sickle cell anemia, a recessive deadly blood cell disease, is much more common in tropical climates because carriers (heterozygotes) are resistant to a deadly parasitic disease carried by mosquitoes (malaria). Given this information which of the following scenarios is a possibility? A. The widespread availability of any drug that protects a population from malaria will have the side effect of reducing deaths from sickle cell anemia over many generations.
B. Having malaria will begin to give immunity to sickle cell anemia as well.
C. Populations in areas where there are fewer mosquitoes will have more and more sickle cell anemia as time goes on.
D. Genetie drift will always be so strong in these populations that none of this selection will be impactful, even for extremely large populations.
E. Over many generations the mosquitses must develop sickle cell anemia too.

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation
