G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition in which the body doesn't have enough of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase,

or G6PD, which helps red blood cells (RBCs) function normally. G6PD deficiency is most common in African-American males. Many females are carriers. It is known that Africa and the Mediterranean basin are high-risk areas for the infectious disease malaria. Researchers have found evidence that the parasite that causes malaria does not survive well in G6PD-deficient cells.How can you explain this? Natural selection favors G6PD deficiency as compared to malaria. Genetic drift is responsible for greater occurrence of G6PD deficiency in these regions. Somatic mutations lead to G6PD deficiency in malaria-inflicted regions.

As verbalized, the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase avails red blood cells function felicitously. Ergo, G6PD deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia characterized by having low calibers of red blood cells. The parasite that causes malaria does not survive well in G6PD deficient cells since they appear to have resistance against the disease.

Average for four: 87.4

Average for six: 103.3

Blank 1: 51.1

Blank 2: 76.3

Blank 3: 87.4

Blank 4: 103.3

Explanation:

The above answers gave the average of each of the set of numbers.

To calculate the average of a set of numbers, It is done by simply summing the numbers and then dividing the numbers by the total number of values in that set of numbers.

From the data given, zero, two, four and six all have their set of numbers. So, with those values, the average was calculated.
