AFTER malaria is cured, the frequency of the HbS allele should decrease in regions with a lot of mosquitoes because: - people will no longer die from sickle cell disease in these regions - having one copy of the HbS allele will no longer be advantageous in these regions - Natural selection will no longer act on the HbS allele at all in these regions - All alleles associated with genetic diseases eventually disappear
