Answer: Kuru
Explanation:
Kuru are transmitted by prion. This diseases are untreatable and ultimately fatal.
Prions are infectious proteinaceous particle that are neither virus nor do they contain nucleic acid.
They are transmitted by ingestion of the infected nervous system tissues.They are normally found in the healthy brain tissues if this protein is mis-folded into denatured form it can cause disease.
Answer: After seven months.
Explanation:
The blood carries various substances that must be transported from one part of the body to another. Red blood cells are an important component of the blood because their function is to carry oxygen to the body tissues and exchange it for carbon dioxide, which is carried and removed by the lungs.
Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell (erythrocyte) production. It is stimulated by a decrease in O2 in the circulation, detected by the kidneys, which then secretes the hormone erythropoietin. This hormone stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cell precursors, which triggers an increase in erythropoiesis in hematopoietic tissues and ultimately in the production of red blood cells. <u>In adults, red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow.</u>
In early developing fetuses, erythropoiesis occurs in the mesodermal cells of the yolk sac. In the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow.
Bacteria are decomposers when they are turning the dead material in decaying organisms into nutrients. They become producers when they provide those nutrients for plants.
