How are the fluke larvae transferred from the snail (invertebrate host) to the vertebrate host?
1 answer:
The eggs of the fluke are passed into water supplies from feces and urine of infected people. After hatching the parasite actively swims and invades the body of a snail, usually by penetrating through the snail's foot. The parasite requires the presence of certain species of snails (e.g., Oncomelania, Biomphalaria, Bulinus) to transform (and multiply) itself into an infective stage, called cercaria.

Answer:
c. one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction.
Explanation:
A DNA molecule has <em>two strands of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone each, but orientated on the opposite direction </em>allowing for the base pairs to complement one another, making it a more stable structure. <em>When two biopolymers run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignment) we have an antiparallel arrangement.</em>
