Answer to q. 1

Genetic variability is maintained by sexual reproduction and mutation, balanced
polymorphisms of heterozygote advantage, and frequency dependent selectio

Answer to q. 2

ANSWER: Heterozygote advantage occurs when the heterozygote genotype has greater fitness in that
environment. An individual who is heterozygous for sickle cell has an advantage in areas
where malaria is endemic because the heterozygote is more resistant to malarial infection
than the individual carrying two normal hemoglobin genes.
