Answer:

The answer is C. Mycobacterium.

Explanation:

According to the symptoms the male demonstrates in the question, the primary organism causing these should be Mycobacterium because it is a bacteria that is associated with causing diseases such as Tuberculosis and Leprosy.

The symptoms of Tuberculosis include most of the listed ones which are fever, weakness and weight loss.

The diagnosis of endogenous osteomyelitis also indicates that the back pain is caused by the tuberculosis as well, Tuberculous Osteomyelitis to be exact which is also defined as Skeletal Tuberculosis.

I hope this answer helps.

Which do you think would adapt and survive overtime to a mass extinction? A starfish or an eel?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Starfish

Explanation:

This is an opinion questions, so there really isn't a right or wrong answer.  You could just as easily choose Eel.  Your task is to pick one and defend your reasoning.

I chose starfish because starfish have a long history of demonstrated adaptability to a wide variety of conditions.  Their armored skin protects them from a variety of predators, as does the poison that many of them contain.  They have the ability to regrow limbs, and even regrow entire starfish from certain body parts.  When it comes time to breed, starfish meet together in groups.  Each female releases a few million eggs from the gonads in each of her arms.  Each male then releases billions of sperm from each gonad in each of his arms, thus covering the eggs with sperm to fertilize them.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nucleoid

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid.
