Chapter 25, Problem 7TYU
MAKE CONNECTIONS The bacterium Wolbachia is a symbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidly through mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchers are seeking a strain that confers resistance and does not harm mosquitoes. Compare evolutionary changes that could occur if malaria control is attempted using such a Wolbachia strain versus using insecticides to kill mosquitoes. (Review Figure 25.26 and Concept 21.3)

Discussion Thread :
Ever wondered why mosquitoes exist? Everyone knows they serve as vectors for many illnesses (malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever to name a few)....but do they serve any "useful" purpose?
Yes, they do!

- Wolbachia is a genus of bacteria that infect cells of invertebrates. Surveys have found that up to a fifth of insect species have at least some individuals infected with Wolbachia. Pathogen or parasite? This endosymbiont (a symbiont that lives inside its host) bacteria can have many effects on its host, including killing offspring and changing the sex of offspring. Ary Hoffmann from the University of Melbourne in Australia, Michael Turelli from the University of California at Davis, and their associates have been studying Wolbachia infections in populations of Drosophila simulans from California. From the initial infection around 1980, Wolbachia infection spread northward across the state during the 1980s and 1990s. The most striking manifestation of infection in this fly species is cytoplasmic incompatibility: offspring produced in crosses where males are infected and the females are uninfected tend to die early in development. In crosses between infected males and infected females,…arrow_forwardDOTa species The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes? * The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to the metabolic costs of DDT utilization DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT. A population of 1,492 finches is introduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches showa death rate of…arrow_forwardWhy does the Ebola virus generate such severe symptoms in a human host?

- "Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, some argued that comparable numbers of people caught bad strains of the influenza virus (causing the viral flu); thus, by extension, the restrictions imposed on society for COVID-19 were unduly burdensome. Based on our discussion in class, which arguments could be made to refute this argument. " "While an average of 31 million people catch the viral flu each year in the US (compared to 16 million COVID-19 cases so far), the mortality rate from the flu seems to be perhaps 8 to 24 times lower than for COVID-19." "Fewer people have caught COVID-19 than catch the viral flu in a given year, but the comparison is not entirely fair since we are not restricting social gatherings or wearing masks during viral flu seasons. A fair comparison would be what would have happened with COVID-19 infections if normal year practices were carried out.

Once you are back in the twenty-first century, you infect both sets of rabbits with both sets of Myxoma viruses. The most likely result will be (1) that the rabbits from 1955 injected with the 1955 virus will have a survival rate than those same rabbits injected with the 1980 virus; and (2) that the rabbits from 1955 injected with the 1980 virus will have a survival rate than rabbits from 1980 injected with the 1980 virus..

- The Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), is an HIV-like virus that originally attacks the immune system of monkeys and apes. In 1999, researchers identified a strain of chimpanzee SIV called SIVcpz, which was nearly identical to HIV. Which of the following conclusions could be drawn from the similarities and relatedness that exist between humans and primates based on respective strains of viruses? Mosquitos are vectors of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), and HIV. Once injected with their proboscis and introduced viruses into the human bloodstream, viral mutations occur. Human immunodeficiency virus has reverse transcriptase so it is easier for them to transform into another strain of the virus. The introduction of new viral strains is inevitable and they do not possess selectivity. Both immune host cells from humans and chimpanzees are susceptible to any viral infection. Humans and Chimpanzees were similar so it is easier for the Simian Immunodeficiency…arrow_forwardHi this is an intro paragraph for my short essay on antibiotic resistance connecting to natural selection and microbiology. please add or correct anything it needs!arrow_forwardThe theory of the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts was first proposed by the biologist Lynn Which of the following statements provides support for the theory of endosymbiosis? 1.
