c. can cause paralysis and cardiorespiratory collapse

Explanation:

Lyme disease as well as Rocky mountain spotted fever are transmitted  by bite of ticks. However in the two cases, the pathogens are different.

Lyme disease is caused by<em>  bacteria Borrelia mayonii  </em>while rocky mountain fever is caused by <em>Rickettsias sp.</em>

Both of the disease involve appearance of rashes on the body . But difference lies at the location of rashes. The rash of Rocky mountain spotted fever arise at the wrist and ankles while rashes of lyme disease arise as bite poin in a bull's eye pattern.

Rocky mountain spotted fever is fatal if untreated and involves symptoms like rapidly increasing body temperature, headache etc. Lyme disease involves flu like symptoms.

Rocky mountain spotted fever if left untreated can cause paralysis and cardiorespiratory collapse as it may cause inflammation of muscles and heart in severe cases.

How does sexual reproduction compare to DNA transfers in prokaryotes?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

  Prokaryotic cells, also known as protocells or prokaryotic cells, belonging to the Prokaryota group of the Monera Kingdom. They are organisms of relatively small size and with well simplified composition and functioning, which makes these beings the first living organisms on the planet. These functions are precarious in relation to eukaryotes, but not taking away their complexity and their ability to adapt to the environment in which they live.

 Although prokaryotes have the same molecular structure as eukaryotes, they do not have some cytoplasmic organelles, such as: mitochondria; smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum; golgi complex; plastids; karyomembrane; lysosomes and vacuoles. Even thus, prokaryotes have DNA, which can be observed as a protein free ring (they are devoid of protein).

  The prokaryote genetic material is made up of just a strand of circular DNA. Because its nucleus is separated by a thin protective layer, that filament is completely mixed with the cellular hyaloplasma.

  Reproduction of prokaryotic cells does not occur by mitosis, but by a process called binary fission.This type of reproduction recombines genetic material through two processes: transduction and transformation. DNA in this cell type is dispersed in the cytoplasm because it does not have a nuclear membrane. In this kind of reproduction, you don't have the chromossomal condesnsation, like what occurs in eukariotes, and then by fission, septa are formed and direct from the surface to the cell nucleus, where the cell is divided into two.
