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

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 __________

Summarize the breakthrough described in the video and what is means for people who suffer from sickle cell anemia

Malaria is caused by
This images shows a single malaria parasite about to enter a human red blood cell

a mosquito landing on a human

the bite of any type of mosquito

a virus

a single-celled parasite injected into human blood from the bite of a mosquito that carries the parasite

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

Put the steps of natural selection in order

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

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

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

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

These are the lowlands of the country with more standing water/humidity for mosquitos that carry malaria to reproduce in

It is a random coincidence

These are the highlands of the country with more standing water/humidity for mosquitos that carry malaria to reproduce in

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

Other Answer Choices:

Area with low malaria

Area with high malaria

Select all the statements that supported by the diagram

Sickle cell allele frequency is correlated (goes up and down together) with levels of malaria across the world

In areas where there is low malaria infections, those populations have high levels of sickle cell trait

people who are born with sickle cell trait are more susceptible to malarial infections

an area with a sickle cell allele frequency of .18 (18% or 18 people out of 100) would like have a low rate of malarial infections

areas with high frequencies of sickle cell trait will also have high levels of sickle cell anemia

2 parents that are both heterozygotes for the sickle cell allele (have sickle cell trait)... what would their genotypes be?

HbA/HbS x HbS/HbS

HbA/HbA x HbA/HbS

HbA/HbS x HbA/HbS
