Suppose production of the pesticides used to treat malaria is halted because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found

that they are causing too much environmental damage to warrant continued use. In turn, this drives up the prices of artemisinin and quinine since they are now in higher demand. How might this affect those that live in South America and Africa?

Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

Pesticides are an effective means for the control of mosquitoes and therefore the prevention of malaria. They are present in the form of sprays, liquids and powders. These pesticides are being used around the house, sprayed in the grasses and bushes and in stagnant water to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.

The halt on the production of pesticides as a result of environmental concerns has resulted in the prevalence and increased cases of malaria in South America and Africa. This in turn gives rise to the increased demand of available medications ; Artemisinin and quinine being the popular ones available. As a resultof this high demand, supply is limited and prices soar.

This is a concern because this leads to the inability of the people of these regions to get treatment because majority of them are poor and cannot afford these expensive medications. Therefore cases of malaria and malaria-related mortality increase especially in pregnant women and under fives.

Answer:

They may experience an increase in malaria  cases due to   hike in the prices of  drugs for  the cure of malaria. South America and Africa are impoverished with  poverty .Therefore affordably of the   expensive malaria drug will be hard for them, thus leading to the prevalence of the infections, and rapid spread of the protozoan in the population. Besides the fact that pesticide use has been discontinue, will aid rapid breeding of female anopheles and therefore increases the rate of transmission further increasing  malaria cases.

Infant morality rate  will rise,  adult productivity will drop especially in Africa where the poverty level is of higher level compare to Latin America.

Difference between mycoplasma and l form bacteria​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

L-form bacteria are distinct from mycoplasmas, because Mycoplasma spp. do not originate from bacteria that normally possess a cell wall. ... Some of these bacteria remain as CWDB (stable L-forms), whereas others revert back to possession of a cell wall (unstable L-forms).

Describe how a plasmid can be genetically modified to include a piece of foreign dna that alters the phenotype of bacterial cell
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Simple version:

First, the section with the desirable gene must be identified. Assuming that has already happened, the section of DNA must be excised from the original genome using restriction enzymes, which recognize certain DNA sequences and snip DNA at those sites. DNA ligase is used to "glue" these ends back together. The DNA is inserted into a plasmid (also with restriction enzymes), which would usually contain antibiotic-resistance genes (so they survive in an environment containing the antibiotic, which would also help show if the bacteria have been successfully transformed). 

Then comes the actual transformation process. The bacteria to be transformed are mixed with calcium chloride (which causes the bacteria to be more receptive to the plasmids) and then mixed with the plasmids. The bacterial cells are subjected to a heat shock (the solution is heated and rapidly cooled, e.g. by placing the mixture in a hot water bath and quickly transferred to ice) so they will take up the plasmid (since the temperature change makes the membrane more permeable). The bacteria are placed on a growth medium containing the antibiotic they're resistant to. Only those successfully transformed would survive.

what is accepted by scientists as evidence for evolution? I. Similarities in bone structure between the wings of a bat and the f
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Options I and II

Explanation:

Evolution refers to the changes that occurs in the morphology, appearance and behavior of an organism over a due course of time. This changes occurs due to the natural selection method, where organisms undergoes changes and adapts to the newly habitable environment.

The above given options I and II are the evidences of evolution. The similarities in terms of bones and their defined structure between the bat wings and porpoise fins are signs of evolution that has taken place over a definite span of time. Also, the changes in the various breeds of dog that are caused by the artificial selection method is also an example of evolution.

Thus, the correct answers are options I and II.
