In experiment of sickle cell anemia inherited patterns, What is the final ratio of alleles? 2. Were any of the genotypes selected against? 3. Given enough generations, would you expect one of these alleles to completely disappear from the population? Why or why not? 4. Would this be different if you started with a larger population? Smaller? 5. After hundreds or even thousands of generations both alleles are still common in those of African ancestry. How would you explain this? 6. The worldwide distribution of sickle gene matches very closely to the worldwide distribution of malaria (see images below). What is the significance of this?

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.
