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.

A human lost at sea without fresh drinking water is effectively lost in an osmotic desert. why would drinking salt water be harm
Grace [21]
Drinking salt water is harmful because it messes up the salt concentration in each of your red blood cells. It over loads the salt in it and causes the cell to swell up and burst due to it trying to let in more water to balance the salt concentration out.

How does information flow through the most common type of cns neuron (iist the 3 regions in the proper order)?
steposvetlana [31]
First of all, the most common type of CNS neuron is the multipolar neuron meaning it has many dendrites and dendritic branches, a cell body or soma, and a single axon. The information flow through this neurons starting from receiving multiple impulses from multiple synapses since this kind of neurons has many dendrites. The signal will then flow in an anterograde manner meaning the multiple signals will flow towards the cell body or the soma to be integrated. Next is that the integrated signal will flow to the neuron's axon to be transmitted to other neurons.
