True [87]4 years ago
7 0
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.

12345 [234]

Answer:

Genetic variation is always maintained.

Explanation:

One would think that the part of the population that is not favored in dry years would die and thus reduce the genetic variation but this is not likely to occur, otherwise all the population would die because some individuals would die in wet years and some in dry years. In reality they are able to survive in the transition from dry to humid years or viceversa. Actually, this variability that results from their genetic variability in their adaptability to changes in the climate is what keeps the population alive and able to thrive as time passes.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Phylogenetic trees can be described as diagrams which represents the evolutionary histories of organisms. The organisms that share more common traits or functions are more closer to one another in the diagram.

The phylogenetic tree in the above diagram shows that the ancestors of Danes, Chinese and Tibetans carried the regular EPAS1 alleles.

According to the tree, the Chinese are more closer to the Tibetans as they carry the Tibetan EPAS1 alleles which the Danes do not carry.
