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.

Answer:
There are lots of transitional organisms in the fossil record though it does take very specific and precise conditions for a fossil to be preserved, a deer that dies in a field will not end up in the fossil record so we are looking at a small sampling of the evidence (and a good thing too or there wouldn't be anywhere to walk with all the bones laying around)

Explanation:
the answer would be 495,000
since the numbers are going up by one and two etc, you see that two number stay the same 05 and 95
Answer:
A properly designed buffer of trees and shrubs can reduce noise by about five to ten decibels — or about 50 percent as perceived by the human ear, according to the USDA National Agroforestry Center
