G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition in which the body doesn't have enough of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase,

or G6PD, which helps red blood cells (RBCs) function normally. G6PD deficiency is most common in African-American males. Many females are carriers. It is known that Africa and the Mediterranean basin are high-risk areas for the infectious disease malaria. Researchers have found evidence that the parasite that causes malaria does not survive well in G6PD-deficient cells.How can you explain this?
Natural selection favors G6PD deficiency as compared to malaria.

Genetic drift is responsible for greater occurrence of G6PD deficiency in these regions.

Somatic mutations lead to G6PD deficiency in malaria-inflicted regions.

<span>Natural selection favors G6PD deficiency as compared to malaria

Individuals in which the G6PD deficiency is common live in areas where malaria is an epidemic problem. Natural selection, a process which selects traits favorable traits out of a species' gene pool, will favor the individuals with G6PD deficiency to survive as they will not be affected by malaria. Their immunity to malaria will help these individuals pass on their genes better, meaning the gene for G6PD will become common, as is the case.

Determine if this passage is an argument or nonargument: Evolution is central to vertebrate biology because it provides a princi
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

C). Argument; conclusion: Classification,...a method of understanding evolution.

Explanation:

An argument is characterized as 'a series of propositions organized so that the final proposition is a conclusion that is intended to follow logically from the previous propositions.' The given passage exemplifies an argument as it puts forward a claim that can be argued upon if it is true or not and supported through adequate reasoning. <u>The factual evidences are provided to support the validity of the proposition and the conclusion that 'classification initially a process...understanding evolution' is compelled</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) A mouse and a human have about the same number of genes.</em>

Explanation:

The technique of genetic sequencing has enable us to learn and compare thee genomes of different organisms. Genome sequencing proves that the genome of the humans and mice are about 99 percent similar. The number of genes in the mouse genome and the genome of humans is almost equal.

Other options, like option A, cannot be true because many complex organisms have fewer chromosomes than other organisms. For example, there are many simple plants which have more number of chromosomes than the complex humans.

Examine the scenario.
aivan3 [116]

Answer: D) Chemical Reaction A will have a higher reaction rate because its container has more thermal energy. This thermal energy will cause an increase in the motion and collisions of the reactants' particles.

More heat = more reaction
