Expert Solution

Trichinosis is a parasitic disease which caused by roundworms or nematodes trichinella. trichin​​​​osis is called trichinellosis.

Roundworms are the eukaryotic organisms which belongs to phylum aschelminthes of metazoa division of kingdom animalia. Animal kingdom divided in to two division metazoa and protozoa by Ernst Haeckel in 1874. Metazoans are the multicellular eukaryotic organisms while protozoans are single cellular eukaryotic organisms.

So, the option first (1,3 and 5) is the correct option.

Protist are the microscopic single cellular eukaryotes belongs to kingdom protista.

Prokaryotes are microscopic single cell organism without membrane bound cell organelles such as nucleus, mitochondria, golgi body etc.

The lophotrochozoans are trophoblastic protostome animals. Protostome are further divided in to lophotrochozoa and ecdysozoa. Lophotrochozoa includes annelids, logo rates and molluscs while ecdysozoa include arthropods.

So ,the rest options are incorrect for given problem.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disease caused by a mutation in collagen (type X), which causes the infected individual to have brittle bones that easily fracture. Collagen typically has a triple helical structure consisting of three intertwined polypeptide chains (as shown below) with each polypeptide chain having a glycine every third amino acid. While Osteogenesis imperfecta can be caused by a variety of mutations, a single amino acid change is sufficient to cause certain forms of the disease. If the mutation...

The virus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads easily enough to have caused a global pandemic hard to contain so far. Effective containment needs to be informed by some key epidemiological factors. One such factor is called the “serial interval” and it represents the “duration between symptom onsets of successive cases in a transmission chain.” That is, if person A (infector) transmits the virus to person B (infectee), then the serial interval is the amount of time between...
