Answer is C. The man is twenty thousand (2 x 10⁴) times larger than the paramecium.
1 meter (m) = 10⁶ micrometers (µm)
Therefore, 1.7 m = 1.7 × 10⁶ µm
Thus, the length of the man compared to the length of the paramecium will be
1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2× 10⁴ .
Therefore, length of the man is 2× 10⁴ times larger than the length of the paramecium.
Mosquitoes have a 6-tube system in their "snout". It's a big big needle with 6 parts to it. 4 of those parts are used to pierce the skin of the human. The other 2 parts are 2 tubes. One of those tubes sends saliva from the mosquito down into the human. The other sends blood up from the human into the mosquito.
Now, unlike some viruses (like dengue and Zikka), HIV cannot replicate inside a mosquito. HIV replicates inside human T-cells...there aren't any of those inside a mosquito gut. Eventually the HIV is destroyed and never makes it to the saliva of the mosquito - so the mosquito can never infect a human with HIV.
The discarded theory of blending inheritance most closely resembles incomplete dominance.
<h3>
What is blending inheritance?</h3>
- An antiquated biological notion from the 19th century is the concept of blending inheritance.
- According to the hypothesis, children inherit any trait by averaging the values of their parents for that trait.
- According to the theory of blended inheritance, an offspring combines the values of both parents for a given attribute.
- As opposed to blended inheritance, particulate inheritance states that a child inherits individual units or genes from each parent.
- Offspring thus combines the traits of both parents.
- Incomplete dominance is the term used to describe phenotypic "blending" of two features, which implies that neither trait is truly dominant over the other.
- The manifestation of phenotypic traits that are intermediate between those of the parents, such as pink flower color from red and white parents.
- Inheritance was a now-discredited hypothesis that claimed children's genetic make-up was a pure admixture of their parents'.
