In the inner ear, there is a coiled tube called the cochlea, our organ of hearing (upper left figure below). It translates vibrations in the inner-ear fluid into nerve signals sent to the auditory centers of the brain. Within the cochlea, a complex assemblage of hair cells, supporting cells, and membranes (tectorial and basilar membranes) constitutes the organ of Corti.

SNPs are variations in a single DNA letter. Different populations have different frequencies of each SNP variant. So if you find that a particular SNP allele is more common in one population compared to others, it suggests that allele originally came from that population. You can use the allele frequencies of lots of SNPs together to figure out where an allele likely originated from.

You could also do phylogenetic analysis but i doubt this has anything to do with the syllabus, it basically involves constructing a tree-like diagram that represents the evolutionary relationships between different populations or individuals based on genetic data. By analyzing the genetic variation at SNP loci and constructing phylogenetic trees, we can determine the evolutionary relatedness of different populations and infer the origin of a particular allele based on its position in the tree.

Do any of you have a case study for this part of the syllabus? assess the causes and effects of diseases on agricultural production, including but not limited to: plant diseases, animal diseases? I can't find a good example for animal disease(the one in my textbook is only like 3-4 lines).
And also, when the syllabus asks examples, do we need more than one case study for each?

plant disease --> panama disease
animal disease --> foot rot

do we just need the causes and symptoms and effects or do we need factual evidence (for ex, for panama disease it actually happened in Queensland from 2014-15). Do we need something similar for footrot(like if it actually occurred somewhere?)

Banksia is an Australian plant that undergoes cell death to seal of pathogen due to a response to a fungal pathogen (Puccinia triticina Eriks), causing the plant disease 'rust'. It causes an observable response of yellow patches on the top of the leaf as well as black spots and blotches on the leaf. This is due to a failed physical barrier, thick cuticle and leaf orientation which failed to prevent the replication of the pathogen. The pathogen triggered a rapid active response, which caused the cell death to seal of pathogen, which involves the cells around the pathogen dying, preventing the pathogen from receiving nutrients, leading to pathogen death.

Describe ONE response of a named Australian plant to a named pathogen (3)

-from james ruse paper --can someone help me with this?? I dont think ive learnt this
eucalyptus send those hormones to its roots to strengthen its walls LISO SOMETHING lignin it was lignin, it stimulates hormones to produce more lignin to strengthen its cellular walls to structurally guard against pathogens in soil
??? does this help @SASH_06_X

Does anyone have examples for this syllabus point??? I know the benefits of an epidemiological study but don't have an example(s).
Evaluate, using examples, the benefits of engaging in an epidemiological study
