It is an example of Natural Selection, Modern Theories of Evolution.

Genetic drift
Do you have to be a certain age to get malaria?
No you do not have to be a certain age, although you are more likely to get it when you are vulnerable for example, a pregnant woman. (i think)
How we get the malaria?
mosquitos carry infected blood from those with malaria and when they bite another person the pathogen is passed onto them and they are likely to get malaria :)
Would a recessive allele or dominant allele be more common in population?
Dominant allele because its more likely to be received by the next generation.
How was malaria transmitted to the falcon?
Malaria was most likely spread through the bite of a female mosquito.
Where is malaria most likely to be found?
in parasite
What is a dominent allele?
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
How is a lethal allele maintained in a population?
A lethal allele is maintained in population for example when you use bug spray on cockroaches there will be at least one cockroach with an allele that protects it from the bug spray, it then breeds and the allele Is passed to it's offspring and they will also be immune to the pesticide. Those babies will most likely breed with each other when they are mature passing on the allele from both of the parents making the offspring 100% immune. It's the same concept for lethal alleles.
Who treats malaria?
doctors or nurses more likely to be a nurse
If a allele is masked is it recessive?
If an allele is masked, it is most likely recessive, but not necessarily. This is due to epistasis, the interaction between two or more genes to control a single phenotype. For example, "K" codes for more keratin pigment in the skin, but "k" does not. One can still be albino, however, for if they get the dominant "A" allele, this allelle will override and mask the dominant "K" pigment in the skin, making the person albino.
What is the most common tropical disease in the US?
Flu __ It's likely malaria.
