A researcher isolates the blood of an individual who is sick. The blood is filtered through a porous material that will prevent

all cells from passing through. The filtered serum of the blood is then injected into a healthy patient. This patient shows signs of the illness within days of the inoculation. What is the most likely causal agent of the disease based on this information?
A) a virus
B) a fungal pathogen
C) a bacterial pathogen
D) a protozoan parasite

The answer would be A. a virus

The question states that the blood was filtered thru a porous material that prevented <u>all cells </u>from passing thru.

All of the options are cells except viruses.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, a virus.

Explanation:

It is clearly mentioned in the question, that the blood is filtered via a porous substance, which restricts all the cells to pass through it, thus, of the mentioned options the only virus is a component, which is not a cell, while all the other mentioned things are formed of cells.  

Viruses are not formed of cells, they do not possess the tendency to maintain themselves in a steady condition, and they cannot grow and even cannot produce their own energy. Though they can adapt and replicate on the basis of their surroundings. Hence, the viruses are more like androids in comparison to the real living species.  

A viral disease takes place when the body of an organism gets invaded by the pathogenic viruses, and the infectious particles of viruses get combined with and enter the vulnerable cells. The host shows the symptoms of the illness after some days of invasion when the virus starts to proliferate.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Deletion in a nearby gene, chromosome breakage, and translocation of the gene to a heterochromatic location.

Explanation:

Transposable components (TEs), also known as "jumping genes," are DNA sequences that moves starting with one area on the genome then onto the next, in some cases making or reversing mutation and changing the cell's hereditary character and genome size.  

At the point when the transposon is extracted from the original site, it may remove a portion of the gene sections alongside it. This prompts the presence of a serious phenotype. Transposable components can likewise cause chromosome breakage. On the off chance that the whole gene is moved alongside the transposon to a heterochromatic location, the gene gets silenced

Give reasons : a.) Diameter of afferent astride is bigger than efferent arteriole? b.) Urine is slightly thicker in summer than
Arisa [49]

Answer:

a. Diameter of afferent astride is bigger than efferent arteriole to generate force for efficient filtration

b. Urine is slightly thicker in summer than in winter to reduce water loss from the body

c. Always vasopressin is not secreted when a person drinks sufficient water

d. ESRD stands for End stage renal disease

Explanation:

a. While transferring blood from afferent astride to efferent arteriole blood gets filtered. Filtration is efficient when the blood flows with force which is generated when blood flows from large arteriole to the small arteriole. Hence the diameter of afferent astride is bigger than efferent arteriole.

b. Urine is slightly thicker in summer than in winter to reduce water loss from the body. In summer water is lost in the form of sweat as well. Hence, urine gets concentrated to compensate for the lost body fluid.

c. Always vasopressin is not secreted when a person drinks sufficient water. The osmoregulation is maintained  externally.

d. ESRD stands for End stage renal disease
