Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>2. Peter's maternal grandfather has PKU.</h2>

Explanation:

Such type of the genetic disorder in which two copies of a gene must be mutated at a time is called autosomal recessive disorder such as sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, and some other diseases.
When a sing copy of a gene is mutated in a person then this disorder is not appeared and the person is called a carrier.
So when a child is born by two carrier parents then there is a chance that a child will be affected if both the parents donate mutated genes.
In the case of Peter, since peter does not show this defect this means his maternal grandfather was affected by this disorder.

Is balamuthia mandrillaris a public health concern worldwide?

True [87]

Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that was discovered in 1986 in the brain of the baboon that dies in San Diego Wild Animal Park. This can be found in the soil and water, therefore it is freely living. It is known to cause the neurological condition known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. In a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has a case fatality rate of >98%. Majority of this case can be found in warmer regions that affects individuals mostly of Hispanic origin. Documented cases had been reported from the Latin Americas in significant number, followed by the United States, Asian regions and some in Europe. However, a specific number of cases worldwide may never be known due to the following factors: lack of awareness, poor diagnosis and a poor public health system.

It is still yet to be known if its a serious public health concern worldwide.
