From a standpoint of natural selection, we see that the heterozygous advantage for AS individuals is balanced by the disadvantage to those with SCD or the wild-type alleles (and no malaria protection).
 
  The action of these conflicting trends produces an overall increase in the mutant allele until it reaches a state where the gain and loss of S alleles is equal. What is the term for this stable condition that allows mutant alleles to remain in a particular population? A) equilibrium frequency
  B) heterozygote fitness
  C) restriction fragment length polymorphism
  D) single nucleotide polymorphism
  E) balanced polymorphism
