Answer:
HbS allele is the sickle cell hemoglobin allele, which generates natural immunity to malaria. Therefore, natural choice will facilitate the populace with HbS allele within a Malaria holoendemic region.
The HbS allele occurrence in this population is estimated higher. It is verified that in a holoendemic area (African malaria infested area), the HbS allele frequency remains between 0.52 and 4.04.
