Difference between Malaria and Mutation

Malaria vs. Mutation

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a group of single-celled microorganisms) belonging to the Plasmodium type. In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Similarities between Malaria and Mutation

Malaria and Mutation have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Asexual reproduction, BBC News Online, DNA, Gamete, Genome, Hemoglobin, HIV, Human genome, Immune system, Natural selection, Plasmodium, Polymorphism (biology), Protein, Red blood cell, Sickle cell disease, Sickle cell trait, Sub-Saharan Africa, X-ray, Zygosity.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.

BBC News Online

BBC News Online is the website of BBC News, the division of the BBC responsible for newsgathering and production.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Gamete

A gamete (from Ancient Greek γαμετή gamete from gamein "to marry") is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization (conception) in organisms that sexually reproduce.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (American) or haemoglobin (British); abbreviated Hb or Hgb, is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae) as well as the tissues of some invertebrates.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Human genome

The human genome is the complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria.

Immune system

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

Natural selection

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

Plasmodium

Plasmodium is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes that are obligate parasites of vertebrates and insects.

Polymorphism (biology)

Polymorphism in biology and zoology is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms, also referred to as alternative phenotypes, in the population of a species.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Red blood cell

Red blood cells-- also known as RBCs, red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow vessel", with -cyte translated as "cell" in modern usage), are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.

Sickle cell disease

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of blood disorders typically inherited from a person's parents.

Sickle cell trait

Sickle cell trait describes a condition in which a person has one abnormal allele of the hemoglobin beta gene (is heterozygous), but does not display the severe symptoms of sickle-cell disease that occur in a person who has two copies of that allele (is homozygous).

Malaria and Mutation Comparison

Malaria has 336 relations, while Mutation has 296. As they have in common 20, the Jaccard index is 3.16% = 20 / (336 + 296).
