2.Suppose that an organism is suddenly infected with a new pathogen and subsequently infects other members of its species. Infection with the pathogen results in ill effects on the hosts. Which of the following is FALSE:
a.The reservoir for this pathogen may have been another species, where it may have been present for a long time before making the jump. |
b.The reservoir for this pathogen may have been another species, but this species had to have been a close relative of the newly infected species. |
c.The new pathogen will likely have a more virulent effect on the newly infected species than would a pathogen with a longer-term presence. |
d.The newly infected species may happen to have encountered other pathogens in the past that it has evolved to deal with, which confers some resistance to the new pathogen. |
3.Which of the following is TRUE:
a.Most human variation exists within groups rather than between them. |
b.Human races are properly classified as 'sub-species', because there are clear differences in traits that we commonly categorize as 'racial features'. |
