8 0

Answer:

SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh coronavirus strain known to infect humans and it causes respiratory disease in humans. These viruses infect humans and are currently causing a pandemic in the world.

A pathogen is an infectious organism that causes illness or disease to its host. There are many types of pathogens that infect the body of the host that disrupts the normal physiological process of an organism. SARS CoV2 is also a pathogen as it infects the human body and disrupts its physiology and causes disease.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: Option B,C, E and F

Explanation:

Action potential describe rise or fall of membrane potential of a particular cell location. This happen when neuron send impulses away from cell body. During action potential, one of the neural membrane opens so as to allow positively charged ions inside the cells and negatively charged ions to move outside the cell.

To construct a mapping cross of linked genes, it is important that the genotypes of some of the gametes produced by the heterozy
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Linked genes are the genes that are present on the same chromosome and can undergo the process the recombination. The recombinant progeny are obtained by the crossing of the linked genes.

The recombinant frequency and map distance can be deduced by the mapping of the linked genes. The genotype of the heterozygote cannot be deduced by examining phenotype and sometimes the recombinant progeny is completely different from the parents as well as from the heterozygotes.

Thus, the correct answer is false.

If two parents do not have widow's peaks, what is the probability that their child will have a widow's peak?
serious [3.7K]

Their child can not have a widow's peak, seeing as widow's peak is a dominant trait. They need two recessive alleles to have a straight hairline, meaning none can be inherited by the child.

Hope this helps.

Are insects intermediate host or definitive host? Are there any symptoms of gongylonemiasis? If the insects are the definitive h
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

They are intermediate hosts.

Explanation:

Disease-transmitting insects are called vectors.

The life cycle of disease-causing pathogens is closely linked to the biology of the insect that carries it.

 The symptoms of gongylonemiasis include  hemorrhagic inflammation  at the site the pathogen invades,  followed by  granulomatous tissue development that  produces nodules in the invaded organ.

Some diseases transmitted by insects occur in both humans and other mammals because our differences in anatomy and physiology are not very different.

It is unlikely that clinical symptoms will occur in humans if the insect were the definitive host, because our biology is quite different from their biology, and the pathogen would be adapted to fulfill its entire life cycle in their body.
