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.
Because the red eyes are recessive to black eyes, the parents could be heterozygous. Recessive alleles only show if two recessive alleles are combined. Thus the offsprings phenotypes of the gene would be C. Rr and rr
These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA. Eukaryotes also have a golgi apparatus that packages and distributes proteins. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Independent assortment
Explanation:
The law of independent assortment says that genes for different traits or characteristics assort independently from each other during gamete formation. So each contrasting character's pair assort independently and do not show any association with the pair of other characters.
So after gamete formation collectively the gametes have all the possible combinations of alleles because all the genes are assorted independently in gametes.
This independent assortment of traits leads to some new combination of characteristics in the offspring. Therefore the correct answer is independent assortment.
