The horse has a non-communicable disease.
Explanation:
- In the given situation, only one horse is effected this suggest that the cause of the disease is not present in any other horse.
- Though the horses were sleeping in same barn and sharing the same resources they did not get the disease. This clearly states that the disease does not spread from one individual to other but remains confined to only effected individual.
- Thus it is a non infectious or non-communicable disease.
Sickle cell trait is apparently an adaptation for the prevention of Malaria. Sickle cell trait is a condition in which the red blood cells are abnormally shaped, if they inherit two faulty copies of the gene for the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin. The faulty gene persists because even carrying one copy of it confers some resistance to malaria. As a result, the frequencies of sickle cell carriers are high in malaria endemic areas.
Bacteria is named based on their basic shapes
