Why does sickle cell anemia remain more prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa than in the rest of the world? a. Reduced access to medical facilities presidposes Sub-Saharan Africans to an increased chance od disease. b. The prevalence of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa provided a selective advantage to individuals who were heterozygous. c. Infection with malaria provides a selective disadvantage to individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle cell allele. d.

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.
