Known as the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, or more commonly known as the Avian Flu/Bird Flu, H5N1 is enzootic (maintained within a population) globally in many bird populations. According to recent word from the World Health Organization, as well as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, H5N1 pathogenicity is gradually continuing to rise in endemic areas. However farmed birds are held in check by vaccination, and thus far there is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 virus. The number of worldwide outbreaks being reported are steadily decreasing.
Answer:
much in common!
Explanation:
Birds, crocodiles and dinosaurs have much in common – including, it turns out, their breath. The hyper-efficient breathing system of birds is shared with alligators, and probably evolved in archosaurs, the common ancestor of crocodilians, birds and dinosaurs.
Answer:
Animal clade
Explanation:
<em>A clade is used to refer to all members of group of organisms that share the same ancestor.</em>
Animals are the only group of living organisms that are eukaryotic, multicellular as well as heterotrophic in nature.
They are eukaryotic because their cells have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast.
They are multicellular because their bodies are made up of more than one cells. The simplest animal (sponge) is made up of several cells while the most complex animal (human) is made up of millions of cells.
Animals are heterotrophs because they lack the capacity to manufacture their own food. They depend on external source for their food. Particular, animals ingest their foods, digest it internally and egest undigested food/waste materials.
Dominate animals hunt the smaller and weaker animals for survival.
Answer:
Nitrogenous bases contain the genetic information, their amount is variable among different species, and the arrangement of these bases is also variable among different species
Explanation:
Both Watson-Crick and Pauling's DNA models considered that DNA nitrogenous bases (i.e., Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine and Guanine) contain the genetic information that determines the characteristics of living organisms. Moreover, both DNA models also considered that nitrogenous base composition varies between species, as well as the arrangement of these bases in the DNA chain also varies between species. Based on these features, Linus Pauling considered that a model where nitrogenous bases would be arranged on the outside of the DNA molecule would be easier for the DNA molecule to be replicated, transcribed, or repaired. Although incorrect, Pauling's DNA triple helix model was fundamental to develop the helical (double-stranded) structure of DNA, which was finally discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.
