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.

This organism infects the host by evading the host's immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation.

What problem does the chromosome number of various organisms present to evolutionists?
SashulF [63]
Chromosome number varies from one organism to another. or example, humans have 46 chromosomes while bacteria have only one chromosome.

The problem associated with the chromosome number of various organisms faced by evolutionists is that with the decrease in the size of an organism, the number of chromosomes also decrease. Thus, it becomes difficult to find and study the chromosomes.
