Why doesn’t the evolutionary history of Plasmodium follow the classical host–
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Is it more beneficial for Neodermata to have one host or two hosts? Neodermatahas two classes: class Trematoda and class Monogenea. Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host. Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy? Does more damage or good?What is the purpose of an intermediate host for parasite replication? Why have some organisms evolved to use an intermediate host and a definitive host while others just have a definitive host? asap(a) What species of blood fluke causes Schistosomiasis in the Philippines? (b) What species of freshwater snail is its intermediate host?
- If the final or definitive host of a parasitic flatworm were eradicated, what would be the likely consequence?what is the only known coccidial parasite that does not have intermediate hosts?Provide a paragraph or bulleted list to answer the following questions. Note that this question has multiple parts so be sure to answer each part. (a) Describe the coevolutionary pattern that systematists look for (b) Name the evolutionary mechanism that causes the phylogeny of hosts to be similar to the phylogeny of their symbionts. (c) Name 2 phenomena that cause a phylogeny of hosts and a phylogeny of their symbionts to come to differ. (d) Some tapeworm groups found in modern marine mammals evolved long before their hosts. Describe how the phenomenon of mass extinctions explains this.
- Platyhelmenthes (flat worms) These creatures have unique regeneration properties. What does that mean? We looked at a few parasitic examples of this group. Be able to identify the life cycle of one or more of these individuals. What is a primary host? A secondary host? Distinguish between turbellaria, trematode and cestodaIs protist dna in a nucleus unicellular or multicellular?According to the phylogeny presented in this chapter which protists are in the same eukaryotic supergroup as plants a) green algae b) dinoflagellates c) red algaed both a and c in a lifecycle with alternation of generations multicellular haploid forms alternate with a unicellular haploid forms b unicellular diploid formsc multicellular haploid forms d) multicellular diploid formsA) A major difference between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells Group of answer choices exhibit little if any compartmentalization of function are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells have a large degree of internal organization lack organelles have little if any internal organization B) Which of the following statements about protists is false? Group of answer choices Some protists are mixotrophic Certain protists share a common ancestor with land plants Some protists are photosynthetic prokaryotes which are similar to the ancestral chloroplast Protists are a polyphyletic group of organisms that often bear little resemblance to each other Although most protists are unicellular, some protists are multicellular as well
