Answer:

Sharks, in their basal form have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years.  They were the first to develop a stream-like, torpedo shaped body and created a niche for themselves. Their aerodynamic body shape has evolved to allow for efficient and dynamic movement in water. Having a cartilage instead of bones allowed them to grow large and still be relatively light and buoyant . After they've evolved flexible, protruding jaws, there wasn't much to change. They were able to adapt and exploit all the water habitats as the world was changing.

anygoal [31]
<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.
