How did these different exposures to the phytochemicals in cassava impact sickle cell and the frequency of sickle cell?
Identify the three outcomes of carbamylation.
Although carbamylation is good for people with sickle cell anemia, what is the downside?
Define co-evolution.
Co-evolutionary dyads usually attract a third species. For the human-cassava dyad, what is the third species (i.e., parasite) that is attracted?
Within human-plant-parasite co-evolution, which species are being modified?
What is the epigenome?
Briefly describe what Jackson means by the statement: “What a great source of chemical [epigenetic] tags dietary phytochemicals are.”
