Question

• five different eukaryotic species
• For each species:
  • Discuss how to identify the organism. This includes how you could identify it in a lab, or defining visible characteristics.  (2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2 points).
    • Consider a physical description (how many legs, type of skeleton, what does it look like, what color is it, what type of hyphae, etc)
  • Describe a clinical disease this organism is responsible for, and some signs and symptoms of such disease, as well as prevention and treatment.
  • Discuss some epidemiological statistics of the disease, or specific economic impact
    • Remember, these must include actual numbers and facts
  • Discuss an organism that could mimic this one, and how can you tell the difference between the two?

Answer 1

If the five eukaryotic species have been provided and they are unknown for their traits or the resemblance then the species can be categorized in the different ways based on the different data which can be provided for those species.

• Molecular-level: If the molecular approach is considered then the isolation of the RNA and Kozak sequence for the species is checked which is the conserved sequence as per the species type is a concern. No two species can have the same Kozak sequence which is conserved for both of them.
• Phonotypic-level: In this case, the organism's external appearance can be studied on different aspects such as skin color, legs, wings, etc. This is the vague analysis where the species can have the identity or the similarity in some of the cases and due to which it can only give the rough idea for the differences in the species.
• Epidemiology: The species origin can be studied after characterizing the species or the similar species can be studied related to the given unknown species based on the first two characteristics and thus allowing to narrow down the gathering of information on the historic or the past.
• Clinical diseases: After the epidemiology it can be configured that the various disease spreading ability of the species which has been provided and thus they can be categorized and segregated on that basis.
