The answer is <span>D. The Plasmodium life cycle would be interrupted, and the infection could not be passed on.

Mosquitoes are necessary for malaria infection. According to the lyfe cycle, after infected mosquitoes bite a human, they inject saliva with sporozoites into the human circulatory system (stage A). The sporozoites enter human liver where they divide and schizonts are created. Schizonts give birth to merozoites (stage B). Merozoites are released into the bloodstream where invade red blood cells (stage C). Inside the red blood cells, they evolve into trophozoites, they into erythrocytic schizonts, and finally into a new generation of merozoites (stage D). After the red blood cells rupture, they are released into the blood stream (stage E). Therefore, if mosquitoes disappear, the first stage (stage A) will be missing, so the plasmodium life cycle will be interrupted.</span>

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

It is a very interesting question - the technology is real and the research on eDNA published in a journal in 2017.

eDNA stands for enviornmental DMA sampling. It allows scientist to test water samples for the presence of the DNA of the invasive fish species. It is more effective than traditional methods of sampling because it does not require trapping or sighting of the invasive species. Water samples can be collected anywhere any time and the DNA results are as accurate and detailed as collected from the invasive species themselves. It provides a complete picture of what invasive species are there.
