Food-borne infection and food-borne intoxication are two forms of food-borne illness. When pathogens are ingested and then multiply in the body, it is known as food-borne infection.

The symptoms of food-borne infection may appear eight hours after ingestion, but it is more likely that they will appear anywhere between two days and a few weeks afterward. For example, the hepatitis A virus has an incubation period of approximately twenty-eight days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

So the answer is D, food borne infection.

Given our understanding of genetics, we can confirm that the gene in question is of the homeotic type.

In biology, we refer to a gene as the most basic unit of genetic information.
It is a segment of DNA that encodes for a certain trait that <u>may or may not be expressed.</u>
A gene carries the information for a specific trait, for example:

1) Eye color

2) Body organization

3) Height

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What does it mean for a gene to be homeotic?</h3>

In the case of this question, the gene in question is a homeotic gene.
Homeotic genes are those that are in charge of the organization of the organism's body.
These genes control the <u>general pattern of the body</u>, such as where the arms and legs will be, and so on.

Therefore, given the definition of a homeotic gene, we can confirm that this is the type that best fits the description of the mutation in the question since it affected the formation and normal organization of the body.

Which claim is best supported by the information about scales and feathers?

alexandr402 [8]

<u>Answer:</u>

Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.

Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.

Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.

Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.
