Dimorphic fungi are those species that occur as either molds or yeast, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and nutrient availability.

Dimorphic fungi are fungi that can exist in the form of both mold and yeast. This is usually brought about by change in temperature and the fungi are also described as thermally dimorphic fungi. An example is Talaromyces marneffei, a human pathogen that grows as a mold at room temperature, and as a yeast at human body temperature.

The term dimorphic is commonly used for fungi that can grow both as yeast and filamentous cells, however many of these dimorphic fungi actually can grow in more than these two forms. Dimorphic is thus often used as a general reference for fungi being able to switch between yeast and filamentous cells, but not necessary limiting more shapes.

Some diseases caused by this fungi are:

  • sporotrichosis
  • blastomycosis
  • histoplasmosis
  • coccidioidomycosis
  • paracoccidioidomycosis
  • talaromycosis
  • candidiasis

Several species of dimorphic fungi are important pathogens of humans and other animals which  includes :

  • Coccidioides immitis
  • Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
  • Candida albicans
  • Blastomyces dermatitidis
  • Histoplasma capsulatum
  • Sporothrix schenckii

An enzyme in a cell became dysfunctional because of an alteration. As a result, the DNA strands would not separate to begin the
atroni [7]

Answer;

-Helicase enzyme

Explanation;

-Helicases are enzymes that bind and may even remodel nucleic acid or nucleic acid protein complexes. DNA helicases are essential during DNA replication because they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied.

-DNA is double stranded. Enzymes that are responsible for replication of DNA can only bind to a single strand of DNA. Helicase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds between the two strands.It forms the so called replication fork. Other proteins assist helicase to keep the strands apart as long as required for the replication process.

"Discuss three factors that affect your daily food choices. For each factor with a negative outcome, suggest at least one change
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Three factors that affect my daily food choices include:

1. Taste

2. Length of time for preparation

3. Method of preparation.

Explanation:

When making choices for food, I tend to take several factors into consideration. Some of these factors include;

1. The taste of the food: If the food tastes good and is not too spicy I am more inclined to choose such food.

2. Length of time for preparation: Especially on stressful days, I tend to consider the length of time required to prepare a healthy meal. If it takes so much time I am more inclined to eat fast food which is not a good choice.

  • To change this negative outcome, I hope to plan my affairs for the day and prepare healthy meals beforehand, which could be stored in the refrigerator and reheated when I need it.

3. Method of Preparation: Some foods require paying attention to details. For example, food that uses up, a lot of vegetables would require thorough washing to prevent particles in the food. Busy days also get me exhausted with no strength to pay attention to these protocols.

  • To turn this around, I hope to employ the help of a family member to make the process easier.
  • I also hope to process most of my ingredients and keep them ready for use so that I would not have to do a lot of processing while cooking.
