Answer:
The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".
Explanation:
In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.
Answer:
Cell size at division is determined by the balance between cell growth (the increase in mass or volume) and the timing of cell division. Interestingly, faster growth rates in bacteria and eukaryotes lead to larger cell size. ... In this model cells “add” a constant volume (or mass) between cell divisions
Explanation:
Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population.
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yiels new species or offsprings that are genetically different from their parents, and causing uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles known to have been prevalent among the parent organisms
So, only option B is true
Answer:
Lassa fever (LF) is an acute and sometimes severe viral hemorrhagic illness endemic in West Africa. The disease was first recognized in Nigeria in 1969. Humans contract Lassa virus (LASV) primarily through contact with contaminated excreta of the rodent Mastomys natalensis, which is the natural reservoir.
