Answer:
can u explain it more I might know the answer
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.

D. that is the correct answer
It would be: Rr × Rr
Result of cross would be: 1RR, 2Rr, 1rr
So, it's genotypic ratio = 1:2:1
Phenotypic ratio = 3:1
Hope this helps!
