be drawn from all the information provided on sickle cell anemia? The malaria-causing microorganism Plasmodium falciparum is injected by mosquitoes into the bloodstream of humans. Historically, the frequency of the Hb³ allele in Africa relates directly to the presence of malaria-causing organisms. In western Africa, the frequency of the Hb allele in the gene pool is 0.15. In central Africa, the frequency is 0.10, and in southern Africa the frequency is 0.05. The sickle cell gene will eventually disappear because of its interaction with malaria. Malaria causes heterozygous O individuals to be less fertile than homozygous individuals. In Africa, sickle cell anemia will disappear since it is lethal in the homozygous condition. In Africa, carriers for sickle cell anemia have an advantage over homozygous

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
