Prions are misfolded versions of normal proteins that can cause diseases. So the correct option is D.

<h3>What leads to prion disease? </h3>

A misfolded confirmation of proteins is called Prions. These misfolded proteins can result in harmful functional proteins and cause several diseases.

A prion is the type of protein that usually cause the normal proteins in the brain to fold in an abnormal manner. This results in misfolding of proteins in the brain.

Prion diseases are known to affect both humans and animals. Sometimes, humans get prion diseases by consumption of by meat from infected animals.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the most common prion disease in humans. The occurrence of prion diseases is rare. In the US, about 300 cases are reported every year.

Therefore the correct option is D.

In summer squash, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk shaped fruit (D) is dominant over spher
dangina [55]

Answer:

Genotypic ratio = 16 WwDd: 0

Phenotypic ratio = 16 white, disk shaped fruit : 0 yellow, sphere shaped fruit

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for fruit color and fruit shape respectively. The allele for white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d).

According to this question, If a squash plant pure-breeding for white, disk shaped fruit (WWDD) is crossed with a plant pure breeding for yellow, sphere shaped fruit (wwdd), the following gametes will be produced by each GAMETE:

WWDD - WD, WD, WD, WD

wwdd - wd, wd, wd, wd

Using these gametes in a punnet square, all of the offsprings will have genotype WwDd, which is phenotypically white and disk shaped fruit.

The genotypic ratio is 4 WwDd: 0

The phenotypic ratio is 16 white, disk shaped fruit : 0 yellow, sphere shaped fruit.

A P. bursaria cell that has lost its zoochlorellae is said to be "aposymbiotic." It might be able to replenish its contingent of
seraphim [82]

The correct answer is B)  abundant light, abundant bacterial prey.

The situations that would be most favorable to the re-establishment of resident zoochlorellae, assuming compatible Chlorella are present in P. bursaria's habitat is "abundant light, abundant bacterial prey."

This element needs these conditions of abundant light and bacterial prey to have the correct metabolism and live. The bacterial prey will help the element to grow. This is going to increase the preservation of the green algae.
