Evaluate the following scenario: two days after visiting a pet shop and observing green parrots in a dis- play cage and fish in an aquarium, a student developed a fever, became quite ill, and was diagnosed with parrot fever. what might be the dis- ease reservoir and possible transmis- sion method?

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

How many chromosomes does each human cell contain? a. 23 chromosomes b. 26 chromosomes c. 43 chromosomes d. 46 chromosomes

In order to study genetic mutations, scientists must study genetic material. which statement describes the genetic material scientists are most likely studying? a) they study alleles that contain chromosomes, which are rna.b) they study alleles that contain genes, which are chromosomes.c) they study chromosomes that contain genes, which are dna segments.
