Required

3

Match the genotypes with the phenotypes (Hb refers to hemoglobin, A is the normal allele, S is the sickle cell mutation allele

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
HbA/HbA		normal hemoglobin/no malarial protection
HbA/HbS		sickle cell trait (50% of hemoglobin has mutation) - no sickle cells diease & protection against malaria
HbS/HbS		sickle cell disease

Required

6

Put the steps of natural selection in order

Variation
Differential Survival
Overproduction - too many offspring
Competition
Differential Reproduction
Speciation - creation of a new species

Required

5

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Too many offspring - overproduction		a population has a mix of people with 3 genotypes; HbA/HbA, HbA/HbS, HbS/HbS
Variation		Parents have offspring with the 3 possible genotypes in an area that has high malaria infection rates
Differential Reproduction		People with sickle cell trait (HbA/HbS) have protection against malaria while people who are HbA/HbA have no protection
Differential Survival		People who have sickle cell trait are more likely to survive in areas with high rates of malaria
Competition		People who have sickle cell trait are more likely to survive in areas with high rates of malaria, therefore are able to reproduce

Required

Drag the correct percentages for the frequency of the sickle cell trait to the 3 areas on the map (go from left to right on the map)

Other Answer Choices:

< 1% of the population (less than 1 person out of 100 people have sickle cell trait)

> 20% of the population (20 people out of 100 total people have sickle cell trait

Required

Why do the dark purple areas of the map have so many more people with sickle cell trait than the area of light purple?

Required

1

Drag and drop the correct labels onto the map - start with the first box and go across the map from left to right.  You can reused the answers!

Other Answer Choices:

area where sickle cell trait would be strongly selected for

area where sickle cell trait would be selected against by natural selection

This images shows a sample of red blood cells of a HbA/HbA person on the left and a HbA/HbS person on the right.  The person on the left has __________ malarial parasites in their red blood cells compared to the person on the right.  This is because having __________ makes it more difficult for the parasite to live inside the red blood cells.  Therefore sickle cell trait __________ a malarial infection

Required

Drag and drop the correct labels to each side of the diagram

Area with low malaria

Area with high malaria

On an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, a group of 50 couples started a new population.  Every member of the population was a carrier for sickle cell anemia (sickle cell trait - HbA/HbS).  When each couple had children, the cross was HbA/HbS x HbA/HbS.  The 50 couples had a total of 224 children - 66 HbA/HbA, 125 HbA/HbS and 33 HbS/HbS.  Unfortunately the couple unintentionally brought a breeding population of malaria-carrying mosquitos with them.  The mosquitos reproduced and grew their population.  Within a few years, the island was full of malaria-carrying mosquitos.  Use the dropdowns provided to make predictions as to what would happen to each of the three genotypes as their descendents lived on the island over the next 250 years.

The HbA/HbA genotype (started at 66 of 224) will __________.  The HbA/HbS (sickle cell trait - originally was 125 out of 224) will __________.  The HbS/HbS genotype (sickle cell anemia) will __________
