The virus that causes AIDS, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), derives from SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus). SIV can only i

nfect monkeys. People who hunted wild monkeys were not susceptible to SIV infection because the host range of the virus was species- specific (i.e., restricted to monkeys). Then all of a sudden. SIV gained the ability to infect humans and the HIV/AIDS pandemic began. As a geneticist, how would you explain this? You may answer in very general terms.

Answer:

it can be explain in such a way that there might be a kind of likelihood of cross-species transmission when a person is exposed to one strain versus another.'

it was found through research with  evidence that SIV strains mutate when they enter cells to overcome human-specific barriers to infection, something that had been suspected for a long time.

Explanation:

The first strain of a virus considered the ancestor of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was passed to humans in the early 1900s, somewhere near a West African rainforest. Now a study has backed up this theory, by proving forms of HIV can cross between chimps and humans.

Answer:

Mutation

Explanation:

In genetics, any heritable change of the base-pair sequence of genetic material is referred to as MUTATION.

SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus) must have undergone mutation, which is the basis of genetic variation or evolution

How do the structures of the fruiting body and hyphase relate to their function
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Fungi is a unique living organism and it is not considered plant or animal and forms its own kingdom Fungus. On of the most unique features of a Fungi is that its body is composed of thread like structure called Hyphae and produce fruiting bodies, in which spores are formed are help the fungus in reproduction.

Coming towards the question that what is the unique feature of the structure of Hyphae and fruiting body that helps them in their function.

1: Hyphae:

Hyphae are composed of thread like structures called Hypha that are filamentous in nature. Due to its filamentous nature, it helps the fungi to better absorb nutrients from soil and anchor the fungus well in soil.

2: Fruiting body:

The fruiting body is main organ of fungi concerned with reproduction. It has rounded cap like structure in which spores are formed and are disseminated from one place to another and help fungi in reproduction.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

The subphylum Chelicerata (New Latin, from French chélicère, from Greek χηλή, khēlē "claw, chela" and κέρας, kéras "horn")[1] constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda. It contains the sea spiders, arachnids (including scorpions, spiders, and potentially horseshoe crabs[2]), and several extinct lineages, such as the eurypterids.
