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.

The answer is C i hope it’s right but i searched up
Answer:
Aerobic respiration process produce either 36 ATP or 38 ATP depending on the amount of NADH moles while Anaerobic produces 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration produces 32-34 ATP more
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration has 3 steps which includes; Glycolysis which produces 2ATP; Krebs cycle which produces 2 ATP and Electron Transport Chain which produces 32 - 34 ATP depending on the molecule of NADH introduced into the reaction from the kreb cycle
I don’t think so. I believe it’s covalent bond that is formed.
Answer:
the wrong RNA sequence will be made & therefore the wrong amino acid chain could be made
Explanation:
