Consider the example of sickle-cell anemia and the allele for the sickle-cell trait, and answer the following

t or f: Eventually, natural selection will typically result in the sickle-cell allele being fixed in the population. t or f: Selection at this locus is an example of disruptive selection. t or f: This is an example of stabilizing selection and will decrease the variation at this locus in the population. t or f: This is an example of stabilizing selection and will maintain variation at this locus. t or f: Hypothetically, if homozygous recessives had the highest fitness (i.e. selection was directional) of the three genotypes discussed in the text, then natural selection would lead to fixation of the sickle-cell allele. What will be an ideal response?
