Remake of What Do We Know About Heterozygote Advantage? by Jenn Jones https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw KWL Chart en-us 2018-04-02 16:14:00 UTC 2018-04-11 12:03:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Ava petia21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079204 I learned that sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease and it makes red blood cells crescents instead of discs. In addition, sickle cell anemia is more common in areas that have malaria. It was found that being heterozygous for sickle cell anemia allows you to be resistant to malaria.]]> 2018-04-03 12:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079204 That sickle cell anemia is a disease that can be harmful in its own way, even if it protects against the malaria sickness. semmww21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079205 2018-04-03 12:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079205 Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic disease that concerns red blood cells. The cells have become misshapen resulting in the loss of oxygen in the body. A scientist determined that Sickle Cell Anemia is related to malaria. In places like Africa, sickle cell can protect you from Malaria. https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079264 2018-04-03 12:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079264 anyakohli1_1 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079278 Sickle cell anemia used to be fatal, and now only causes strokes, organ failure, and bone pain. Tony Alison found out that in places such as Africa, where there was a high amount of sickle cell, there was also a high amount of Malaria. ]]> 2018-04-03 12:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079278 Sickle Cell A harrk21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079320 2018-04-03 12:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079320 Sickle Cell Anemia works best as a heterozygote because you have protection from malaria without sickle cell disease. https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079323 joe shirley]]> 2018-04-03 12:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079323 Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease that is able to be passed on if both parents are carriers.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder that makes blood cells be in a crescent shape. Malaria is carried through mosquitos and when a mosquito bites someone that person gets malaria into their blood stream. https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079445 2018-04-03 12:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079445 The heterozygote advantage makes it so that you can carry the Sickle cell disease but not be affected by it, and use that carrying of the disease to defend against Malaria. Although this isn't the best for evolution because having offspring that could be affected by Sickle cell means they are at a disadvantage, it helped in the given situation because Malaria was killing everyone there. yumc21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079468 2018-04-03 12:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079468 Malaria and Sickle Cell Anemia shanjt21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079504 Being a heterozygote carrier of Sickle Cell Anemia gives you an advantage in areas prone to malaria because the mutations on sickle cells hinder malaria parasitic reproduction. - Jon

Being heterozygote carrier protects you from malaria in areas with lots of infected mosquitos but because it is not dominant you are a carrier but are not affected by it. harrk21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079507 2018-04-03 12:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079507 gobrmp21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079579 Sickle cell disease, stops oxygen from coming to your blood, making your blood cells a crescent shape.]]> 2018-04-03 12:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079579 Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079659 2018-04-03 12:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079659 70,000+ people have the disease in the United States https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079871 2018-04-03 12:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079871 If sickle cell anemia can protect against malaria, is it possible that others harmful diseases can have the same effect (protect against something else). semmww21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079932 2018-04-03 12:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079932 Are there more genetic diseases related to environmental diseases just like sickle cell anemia and malaria? https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079952 2018-04-03 12:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248079952 Ava petia21 https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248080237 How does being heterozygous for sickle cell anemia prevent malaria from affecting the body?]]> 2018-04-03 12:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones146/1k2b0autqqpw/wish/248080237 Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic disease that is passed through parents that are both carriers.
