Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have increased resistance to malaria because the parasite does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.
<h3>What is the link between G6P deficiency and malaria?</h3>
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder.
- G6PD protects cells from oxidative damage especially the RBCs whose main function is to carry oxygen.
- Mutation in the gene results in G6PD deficiency leading to oxidative stress which can lead to anemia (iron deficiency) as there is breakdown of RBCs.
- However, G6PD deficiency is quite common in parts of Africa, Middle East, and South Asia, which are the regions of high malaria endemism.
- This is due to natural selection in which G6PD deficiency is not eliminated from the population as it can protect people from malaria infection.
- Malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium</em> species does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.

[ C. Coriolis Effect ]
If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel north or south because of the differences in pressure and temperature. The Earth does rotate, so, the Coriolis Effect diverts the wind to the left of the Southern Hemisphere and right of the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect is very important because it creates cyclonic weather system.s
Best of Luck!
Answer:
TCTAGGA
Explanation:
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule consists of two single-strands, which are composed of four different types of nucleotide bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C). These two DNA strands run in an anti-parallel direction to each other. According to the base-pairing rules, Adenine always pairs with Thymine, while Guanine always pairs with Cytosine. In DNA, Thymine and Adenine form two hydrogen bonds between them, while Guanine and Cytosine form three hydrogen bonds between them.
The parents should go to gene counciling to determine who carried the gene that was passed down to the offspring.
