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.

I believe the correct response is D. Need a living host cell to reproduce.
Answer:
<em>The statement that is incorrect is :</em>
<em>Robert wanted to see if his theory was true that cigarette smoke will influence web-building in spiders.</em>
Explanation:
A theory can be described as a descriptive explanation of a phenomenon which is supported by valid experiments and careful examination of facts. As Robert, has not conducted any experiments nor has proved his study with reference to facts, hence it cannot be considered as a theory.
Robert wanted to see if his observation was true that cigarette smoke will influence web-building in spiders will be the correct statement that could be used.
An example of a complex trait is
weight.
Complex trait or quantitative trait is a trait that doesn’t behave according to simple Mendelian inheritance laws. These traits show a continuous range of variation and are influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. It is often said that complex traits<span> are those that are influenced by more than one factor.</span>
