Bison have come close to extinction due to uncontrolled hunting, drought, and
disease. There is now very
little
genetic variation in bison
populations.
Which of the following is a result of the
limited genetic variation in the
current bison populations compared
to earlier bison populations with
more variation?
Select one:
O a. Bison in current populations are more resistant to new
diseases.
O b. The survival rate of young bison has increased in current
populations
O c. Bison in current populations are less able to interbreed with
other species
O d. The current bison populations are less likely to be able to
adapt to environmental changes.

Ms. w, a 21-year-old woman, came into a clinic after suffering a deep laceration on her foot while walking barefoot around her yard. the wound was cleaned, sutured, and bandaged, and she was released to return home after receiving tetanus antitoxoid. within 72 hours, the wound area was red and swollen, the suture line was dark in color, and it was accompanied by severe throbbing pain. ms. w had a high fever, her heart felt like it was racing, and she was finding it hard to concentraten even on simple tasks. she returned to the clinic and was immediately taken to the hospital. following lab tests, a diagnosis of acute necrotizing fasciitis was made. discussion questions 1. explain why ms. w. received a tetanus antitoxoid before leaving the hospital. (see chapters 3 and 4, infection and passive immunity.) 2. explain how acute necrotizing fasciitis developed in this case and the pathophysiology involved. (see acute necrotizing fasciitis.) 3. what is the potential outcome for ms. w if antibiotic drugs do not reduce the infection quickly?
