Give three examples of ways in which biology can help inform everyday decisions
ki77a [65]
Three examples that biology can help in our everyday lives:

1. When you are faced with an animal, for example, a snake, you will know how to deal with it. You will examine what species that the snake belongs to and you will be able to identify its weaknesses.

Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have increased resistance to malaria because the parasite does not
Alexus [3.1K]

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.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

A. the rise and fall of the tides.

C. a dropped object always falls toward Earth.

Explanation:

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

The two phenomena which are evidence that gravitational forces are attractive includes;

I. The rise and fall of the tides: this is caused as a result of the gravitational force of attraction exerted by the moon on earth.

II. A dropped object always falls toward Earth: this acceleration is due to the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the object.
