protected people from malaria. In two large case-controlled studies‚ research showed that children with the African variant of G6PD deficiency had twice the resistance to P. falciparum malaria compared to children to children who didn’t have the mutation. Laboratory experiments have also shown that malarial-causing parasites preferred “normal” red blood cells compared to the G6PD-deficient red blood cells. Question: Did favism‚ or G6PD enzyme deficiency‚ help humanity survive through malaria? Research:

Two issues that worry many geologists are global warming and the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. What does the greenhouse effect have to do with global warming? When humans release gases into the air‚ the greenhouse effect will alter the temperature of the earth. More gases in the atmosphere means the earth will start to get warmer‚ and the result is global warming. On the other hand‚ if there was no greenhouse

example‚ there are two individuals‚ one who has malaria and the other has built up a resistance to malaria. Knowing that an individual has built up resistance to malaria can help‚ simply by taking a sample of their blood and uploading it to a computer. Scientists will trying to figure out what is the cause for this resistance to malaria‚ they will have to break down the DNA of the individual who is immune and simply extract the gene repelling malaria. With this knowledge there will be fewer deaths
