<span>One important area of DNA research is that of genetics and medical research. Due to our discovery of DNA, our ability to actually diagnose diseases early on has been vastly improved. In addition, we have been able to better assess a person's genetic susceptibility to specific diseases. In doing so, we have also paved the pathway to formulate brand new drugs to treat these diseases. In fact, drugs can essentially be custom made to complement a person's personal biochemistry and genetic makeup. For those diseases that were previously considered lethal and where treatment was either non-existent or largely unsuccessful, the discovery of DNA has essentially led to breakthrough drugs and treatments for patients with serious illnesses.</span>

Which parasitic protist evades the host immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Trypanosoma brucei

Explanation:

T. brucei is a unicellular eukaryotic parasite that causes sleeping sickness. This organism has an elongated body, central nucleus, only an elongated mitochondria housing the kinetoplast, where the mitochondrial DNA is located; It has a scourge that gives it motility. Its undulating cell membrane, as a result of flagellar movements, is covered with glycoproteins that elicit little immune reaction, allowing this parasite to go unnoticed.
