Answer:

The parasite would affect the brain of the lynx and the brain of the hare

Explanation:

Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that is able to infect pretty much every warm blooded animal on the planet. It is an obligate intracellular parasitic one-celled eukaryote. This parasite manages to cause the infectious disease known as toxoplasmosis which damages the brain. The hare is a warm blooded animal, and it can be infected by this parasite. If the hare is infected and a Canadian lynx kills that particular hare and consumes it, then the lynx will also be infected with the parasite. The parasite will cause damage to the lynx's brain which will result in the dying of that lynx.

Fossils of Glossopteris, an extinct fern, were discovered on which continents to support the theory of continental drift? Check
Alenkasestr [34]

Accordin to Du Toit's list supporting the theory of continental drift, the correct options are A, C, ad D. <em>Fossils of </em><em>Glossopteris</em><em> were discovered on </em><u><em>Africa, Australia, and Antarctica</em></u><em>. </em>

--------------------------------

Before answering the question, let us first review some theoretical frameworks,

• The tectonic plates theory explains the movement of the different plates based on the crust movements.

• The continental drift theory explains how these movements have been taking place for millions of years.

Alfred Wegener was the first one to state the concept of continental drift.

He proposed that once all continents were together a single big continent named Pangea, and with time, they split and separated into many pieces.

The geologist Du Toit published in 1937 a list of 10 pieces of evidence that would support the theory of tectonic plates and continental drift.

Du Toit's list includes evidence of <em>Gondwana glaciation, lithological and structural evidence, plates fitting together, and paleontological evidence</em>.

Paleontological evidence

• Plant and animal fossils distribution suggests the existence of a big unique continent. When reconstructing the supercontinent, the areas where these fossils were found get together in the same supercontinental region.

• Glossopteris (fern) impressions are widely distributed in determined areas of Africa, South America, India, Australia and Antarctica.

• Terrestrial vertebrate fossils also support the theory. The presence of Triassic tetrapods in all continents suggests terrestrial corridors between landmasses.

Finding Glossopteris in Australia, India, South America, Antarctica and Africa suggests that continents were once together, and these species used to live in the same region.

With time, these continents diverged and got separated by the oceans. The region where Glossopteris used to live got divided.

<em>The correct options are A, C, and D. Africa, Australia, Antarctica.</em>

How might targeting rapidly growing cells explain common chemotherapy side effects such as hair loss and nausea
IrinaVladis [17]

Cancer cells are the cells that divide rapidly than any other cells in the body. The drugs used in chemotherapy work on rapidly dividing cancer cells. Some cells of our body apart from cancer cells also divide rapidly along with the cancer cells such as the cells that line the stomach and the digestive tract. Chemotherapy drugs cannot differentiate the cancer cells and the normal cells so these drugs also attack the normal cells which divide rapidly along with the cancer cells. The drugs also attack the cells that are present in the roots of the hair. So, this results in the hair loss. Hair loss does not occur immediately after the chemotherapy treatment instead it starts after few treatments. The degree of the hair loss after chemotherapy depends on the drug type and process. So when the chemotherapy drugs are used it results in the hair loss and nausea.

Therefore, when chemotherapy drugs attack normal cells including the roots of the hair instead of cancer cells that divide rapidly along with the cancer cells it results in the hair loss and nausea.
