Yes, natural selection plays a role in the evolution of genetic resistance to malaria. Individuals with genetic traits that provide resistance to the disease are more likely to survive and pass on their genes, leading to a higher prevalence of resistance in populations where malaria is endemic. This evolutionary process is an example of natural selection in action.

How is the sickle cell allele maintained through natural selection?
Individuals with two recessive alleles have very high rates of reproduction.
What is the most deadly protist called?
The most deadly protist is Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria in humans. It is responsible for the majority of malaria-related deaths worldwide.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
How has the natural selection harmed the ecosystem?
It hasn't. Natural selection is a key part of the ecosystem itself.
People with one sickle cell allele are not likely to get a malaria what is this an example of?
It is an example of Natural Selection, Modern Theories of Evolution.
What is natural selection most closely related to?
Natural selection is most closely related to Darwin's theory of evolution.
How are evolution and natural selection related?
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
What are the key four principals of natural selection?
See the related answer below for an answer to this question.
How is natural selection used in artificial selection?
Natural variation in artificial selection is used because humans choose from among the naturally occurring variation s in species. Natural selection is related to species fitness because Darwin called natural selection survival of the fittest because those that could survive would carry their species on there for being the naturally selected.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
How is natural variations used in artificial selection?
Natural variation in artificial selection is used because humans choose from among the naturally occurring variation s in species. Natural selection is related to species fitness because Darwin called natural selection survival of the fittest because those that could survive would carry their species on there for being the naturally selected.
What is natural selection How is it related to evolution?
Natural selection is the process of certain animals being more successful than others and thus reproducing more. It is the driving force behind evolution as we currently understand it.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
What is the prefix and suffix of natural selection?
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
Why a person having malarial parasite does not shows symptoms of disease?
Some peoples (ie tribes/families) who have lived in malaria infested regions have developed a natural partial immunity to the parasite (by a process of natural selection and evolution) such people may be infected by the parasite but do not develop full blown malaria because their immune system keeps the parasite in check.Note, the danger in this is that such people act as the source of malaria affecting others. The mosquito has to bite someone with malaria FIRST then go on to bite a SECOND person. This gives malaria to the SECOND person. Obviously people carrying the malaria parasite but not ill do not go and get treated for malaria (have the parasite in their bodies killed). They therefore act as a hidden reservoir for infection.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
