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.

trapecia [35]
The most familiar non-vascular plants that contain simple conducting cells are Mosses. Most non vascular are bryophytes and are small in size, they lack vascular tissues and also lack true leaves, seeds, and flowers. Instead of roots, the have hair-like rhizoids that functions to anchor them to the ground and to absorb water and mineral salts from the soil. They are three types, mosses, hornworts and liverworts.

A newborn baby dies soon after birth because her diaphragm and rib cage muscles failed to contract and she was unable to breathe
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Troponin

Explanation:

This is a complex of three proteins  (Trop C, I, T) that are responsible for muscle contraction of  the skeletal and cardiac  muscles . its binds with protein tropomysin  to lie in the grove between the actin filaments.  its prevents contraction by blocking  myosin crossbridge  in a relax muscles.Inorder to aid contractions  calcium ions binds with troponin, which leads to confrontational change.This exposes myosin on actin filaments,  leading to formation of crossbridge and therefore contraction of muscles.

Therefore if there is  a mutation in the gene that encoded Troponin, as explained above, calcium ion  will not be able to bind with tropinin, and there will be no exposure of myosin on actin filaments, no binding of  myosin on actin to cause crossbridge, and consequently no  muscle contraction,

Thus the intercoastal  muscle and diaphragm will not contract leading to death of the baby.
