The right option is D. vector-borne

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as vector- borne diseases.

Vector-borne diseases are infectious diseases transmitted between humans or from animals to humans through the bite of infected hosts such as animals or insects. Most of these hosts are arthropod vectors which are bloodsucking insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, and blackflies. Examples of vector-borne diseases include West Nile fever which is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito, Leishmaniasis which is transmitted through the bite of an infected female sandfly and Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) which is transmitted by ticks.

A man with blood group B marries with a woman with blood group AB and the daughter has blood group AB. Is this information enoug
disa [49]

Answer:

YES. This information is enough to assume that neither of the blood groups dominates over the other one.

Explanation:  

<u>Available data:</u>

  • A man with blood group B ----> Genotype IBIB or IBi
  • A woman with blood group AB ---> Genotype IAIB
  • Their daughter has blood group AB --> Genotype IAIB

The fact that the daughter´s genotype is IAIB tells us that she got the IA allele from the mother, who is IAIB, and the IB allele from his father, who is IB-.

  • If blood type B was dominant over A or AB, then the daughter should have Blood type B.
  • If blood type A was dominant over B or AB, then the daughter should have Blood type A.
  • Blood type AB tells us that both types are being expressed, A and B.

The fact that the daughter inherited one type of allele from each parent, but she is expressing the blood type AB, suggests that neither of the alleles dominates the other one. This is an example of co-dominance, where the heterozygote phenotype is an additive expression of both of the parents' genes.

This is enough information to assume that neither of the blood groups dominates over the other one.

What are the starting materials and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>Photosynthesis usually happens in the leaves of the plants.This process undergoes a
complex process and involves two stages.The light dependent stage uses water as its
raw material and has its product which is oxygen and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is the material used for the second stage - the light independent stage. During this stage, glucose has been created.

<span>Photosynthesis is the process to store energy and cellular respiration releases the energy stored. Glucose and Oxygen are the materials used in cellular respiration and releases water and carbon dioxide.Cellular Respiration goes through the processes Glycolysis,Transition Reaction, the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis, respectively.</span></span>

Neurons may be classified according to several characteristics. Which of the following is correct? A. Group A fibers are mostly
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cell are the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Fibers are the thread like long projection of the nerve cells.

Neurons are classified into three fibers- Group A fibers, B fibers and C fibers. The group C fibers cannot capable of doing the saltatory conduction of the nerve impulse because they are unmyelinated.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient
dedylja [7]
Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.
