The purpose of this essay is to tell how has malaria affected people that have sickle cell and is sickle cell common in places malaria is common, and how it correlates with each other? Malaria and sickle cell allele have a direct correlation on how many countries have malaria versus people with the HbS allele because, HbS allele is affected by the presence and absence of malaria, the effect malaria has on people with the HbS allele, and technological advancements.
The HbS allele came from places that are have a large population of malaria and the HbS allele was affected by the absence or presence of malaria. What effects this allele is a mutation in the hemoglobin in the body which usually happens due to natural selection. This allele has …show more content…

Scientist have found a way to change the hemoglobin that have the HbS allele into a normal type hemoglobin. The HbS allele could be eradicated if the gene editing worked or if the malaria parasite were to be eradicated. The reason that sickle cell allele could disappear if the malaria parasite were to disappear is that natural selection would take over and people would not have the mutated allele HbS because it would not be needed. In a result if technology would advance, malaria could disappear because of a cure. The technological advancements in the future will change the percentage of people with sickle cell can be because of two reasons. The first reason is that malaria could disappear and the second reason is also gene editing.(MedicalDaily 2015) These could affect the percentage of people with sickle cell because if malaria were to disappear then there would be no reason for sickle cell to exist so natural selection would make it disappear. The second reason is gene editing which makes it possible to change the HbS allele change into normal hemoglobin.(MedicalDaily 2015) The most effective method would be eradicating the malaria parasite in certain places, such as countries in which malaria is common. Gene editing would be most effective in places where malaria is not common. This connects because the main claim is how malaria and sickle cell allele correspond with each …show more content…

Malaria and sickle cell allele have a direct correlation on how many people have malaria versus people with HbS because, HbS allele is affected by the presence and absence of malaria, technological advancements will change how sickle cell and malaria will show in the population, and the effect malaria had on people with the HbS allele. The purpose for writing this is too show the correlation between sickle cell and malaria parasite and how it reacts with these two combined in the
