Question

In a region of Africa where malaria is endemic, researchers investigated the effect of three different point mutations in the hemoglobin gene (called hemoglobin S, C, and E) on susceptibility of humans to malaria, as compared to people with the non-mutant hemoglobin gene (in essence a “control”; labeled "W" for wild-type). To do so, they took blood samples from 40 people (10 wild type, 10 S-type, 10 C- type, and 10 E-type) and measured the number of red blood cells infected by the malaria protozoan per microliter. Do any of the hemoglobin mutations confer better resistance to malaria as compared to the wild-type, non-mutant control? Please use spss if possible.

Explanation / Answer

if we take average of no of cell infected for each type

DATA TABLE

We can see least infected sell is W type .

so no other hemoglobin mutations confer better resistance to malaria as compared to the wild-type.
