According to Guinness World Records the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria fera) is officially the world’s most venomous spider. It is capable of injecting a powerful neurotoxin which is nearly 20 times more deadly that of the Black Widow spider if it gets into the blood stream. That is as potent as the venom of many deadly snake species and the effects are similar. The symptoms of envenomation include a loss of muscle control leading to breathing problems which can result in complete respiratory paralysis and eventually asphyxiation.
But there are two other major side effects to the wandering spider’s bite; firstly there is intense pain and secondly, if you happen to be male there is the four hour hard on. Yes, you did read that correctly – the bite of the Brazilian wandering spider can cause an erection that lasts for several hours, unfortunately it is also painful.

In addition to the this deadly venom the behaviour of the wandering spider make it particularly dangerous to humans. As its name suggests the spiders are not confined to a web in a dark corner. In fact they like to turn up in all manner of hiding places; boots, piles of clothes, log piles, cars and bunches of bananas. Also known as ‘banana spiders’ wandering spiders have been known to hitch a ride across the globe in boxes of bananas. In one case a man in the UK was bitten after buying bananas in his local supermarket.

There is little doubt that these are dangerous spiders. Their aggressive nature and close contact with humans have resulted in a number of deaths over the years. In one tragic case a single spider was responsible for the deaths of two children in São Paulo. Fortunately an effective antivenom has been developed and there have been relatively few fatalities since.

All of the following is leading to less habitable land for human populations except fewer wildfires. A wildfire can burn a natural area.

A wildfire is a fire that can burn an entire natural area (e.g., forest, grassland, prairie, etc).

Wildfires are generally due to anthropogenic (human) unconscious activities, but they can also be natural (for example, wildfires caused by lightning).

It has been proposed that when considering the total surface area burned at the global Earth level, wildfires declined over the last decades.

Which human characteristic is controlled by polygenic inheritance?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight.

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance is the set responsible for many characters that appear simple from the surface. Many characters such as weight, shape, height, color, and metabolism are governed by the cumulative effect of many genes.

Polygenic inheritance is not expressed at all as discrete characters, as in the case of Mendelian characters. Instead, polygenic characters are recognized by being expressed as graduations of small differences (a continuous variation). The result forms a curve with an average value at the peak and extreme values ​​in both directions.
