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.

Mutation

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

Science rejects any hypothesis not supported by __________________________ and the results of ___________________________ experi
Ket [755]

Answer:

Observations; control.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is considered to be tentative or an educated guess and can be defined as a testable explanation for an  observation or a scientific problem. An example of a hypothesis is saying, Corona virus is caused by the introduction of the "5G" technology.

On the other hand, a control experiment  can be defined as an experiment in which a condition assumed to be a probable cause of the effect is being compared to the same  situation by the scientist without involving or using the suspected condition.

Hence, science rejects any hypothesis not supported by observations and the results of control experiments.

<em>This ultimately implies that, for any hypothesis to be acceptable in science, it must be supported by observations and the results of control experiments; this give rise to factual informations, theories and by extension solutions to problems.</em>
