Malaria: Evolution and Sexual Reproduction
This lesson involves three scenarios where you calculate the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles. You will compare these frequencies for the 3 scenarios and discuss how they changed. Scenario 1 represents where every child survives. Scenario 2 represents students that are homozygous recessive have sickle-cell disease and die. Scenario 3 represents the homozygous recessive kids still die and homozygous dominant individuals have a 50/50 shot of contracting malaria and dying. Students will also be using math calculations with their data.
