QUESTION 44
-
Naegleria fowleri, also known as the ‘brain-eating amoeba’, causes deathly amebic meningoencephalitis in humans. However, this pathogen is typically free-living and humans cannot transmit them to any other potential host. What type of virulence evolution hypothesis does this demonstrate?
a. Coincidental evolution hypothesis
b. Short-sighted evolution hypothesis
c. Cost/trade-off evolution hypothesis

- Question 5 You are studying a species of tree frog with skin that produces different toxins based on the genotype of the Tox locuS. Alleles E and N are codominant. Individuals homozygous for E are emetic (eating them causes vomiting), while individuals homozygous for N produce a neurotoxin. Heterozygotic frogs produce a toxin with both qualities. At the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, you collect frogs from the field site and test them in the lab. You find 93 neurotoxic frogs, 113 emetic frogs, and 12 frogs with both toxic qualities. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, what are the expected numbers of frogs given their genotypes at the Tox locus? 45 NN, 108 NE, 65 EE B 93 NN, 12 NE, 113 EE 324 NN, 446 NE, 154 EE D) 198 N, 238 E Last saved 1. 67 minutes remaining P Type here to search Home DII PrtScn F8 F6 F7 F3 F4 F5arrow_forwardQuestion 4.

- QUESTION 27 Microtubules are made of tubulin. When tubulin is bound to GTP, it has a higher affinity for other tubulin molecules, so microtubules grow. When tubulin is bound to GDP, the affinity is lower so microtubules shrink. We would say that tubulin is regulated by O Ubiquitylation O Phosphorylation O Small molecule binding O Protein-protein interactionsarrow_forwardQUESTION 24 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is of interest to evolutionary biologists because all of the following, EXCEPT: a. Phylogenetics allow us trace epidemics and transmission pathways. b. Evolution of the virus has led to drug resistance and the need for multidrug treatments. c. Population demography and disease transmission can differ between populations. d. Resistant alleles are maintained in high frequency due to high selective pressure of the disease.arrow_forwardQuestion 15 of 50 Germ theory was an important breakthrough because: ideas spread like diseases.
