Answer:
Brain and spinal cord
Explanation:
Meningitis is the inflammation of the protective covering of the meninges, the three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis usually occurs from a viral infection, but may sometimes result from a bacterial or fungal infection, cancer or drug allergies.
Viral and bacterial meningitis may be contagious and can be transmitted through coughing and sneezing.
Symptoms of meningitis include:
- sensitivity to bright light
Treatment is by vaccination, use of antibiotics and antifungal agents.
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live".
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."
The United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) stipulates that seabed area, which is not within the landmark of any particular country should be regarded as a common natural heritage. Consequently, any mineral found in such an area can be used by anyone.
However, because of the abundant presence of sea area, and the way national boundaries often conflict, coupled with the problem of illegal mining practices, such laws are difficult to enforce, and so these regulations are not standardized yet.
Some possible impacts of ilegal seabed mining are:
1. Destabilisation of oceanic systems.
2. It constitutes danger to the organisms living in the hydrothermal vents.
The answer to the question stated above is non-disjunction.
