Retroviruses also have the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which allows it to copy RNA into DNA and use that DNA "copy" to infect human, or host, cells.

What is DNA?

Humans and nearly all other species carry their genetic information in DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid. The DNA of an individual can be found in almost all of their cells. The majority of DNA is found in the cell nucleus (where it is known as nuclear DNA), but there is also a tiny quantity of DNA in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Cellular organelles called mitochondria transform the energy from food into a form that can be utilized by cells.

Adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (C) are the four

chemical bases that make up the code that stores the information in DNA (T). More than 99 percent of the 3 billion bases that make up human DNA are the same in every person.

What two organ systems are most involved in controlling the negative feedback systems of the body?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The respiratory system as well as circulatory system (hormonal system) are involved in controlling the negative feedback of our body.

Explanation:

The respiratory system helps in controlling the negative feedback in such a  way that if CO2 level increases in body the system acts in such a way so as to decrease  its level in body . the system attains a normal level by  increasing the blood circulation and increasing the breathing level forcing CO2 outside of our body.

in case of circulatory system, the blood has several hormones released from glands . the most common example is Insulin and Glucagon .

if a person is hypoglycemic then glucagon concentration increases and blood glucose concentration returns to normal and if a person has hyperglycemia then insulin level increases which in turn increases glucose uptake from body and body returns to normal level.

Plant reproduce sexually through the fusion of male and female gametes followed by fertilization to produce an offspring. Offspring produce through sexual reproduction have both maternal and paternal makeup.

Asexual reproduction includes binary fission, budding, grafting. It is the production of the exact kind of the parent plant, it does not require fertilization and the parents and the progeny are 100% identical.
