Answer: Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. virus uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup.

Explanation:

  • A virus is a miniscule pocket of protein that contains genetic material.
  • Viruses pose a considerable challenge to the body’s immune system because they hide inside cells.
  • This makes it difficult for antibodies to reach them. Some special immune system cells, called T-lymphocytes, can recognise and kill cells containing viruses, since the surface of infected cells is changed when the virus begins to multiply.
  • Many viruses, when released from infected cells, will be effectively knocked out by antibodies that have been produced in response to infection or previous immunisation.
  • Antibiotics are useless against viral infections.  So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Hence virus are the pathogen that use the cell's metabolism. And replicate itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup. viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them

A female rabbit heterozygous at two genes (named A and B) is test-crossed with a male rabbit. Their progeny include 442 A/a;B/b,
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The genes are linked and 10 mu apart.

Explanation:

A female AaBb rabbit is test crossed with a male rabbit (aabb). The male can only produce<em> ab</em> gametes (all the progeny will have ab on one of the homologous chromosomes).

If the genes assorted independently, the female would produce 4 types of gametes with the same frequency: 1/4 AB, 1/4 Ab, 1/4 aB and 1/4 ab.

However, the observed AB and ab gametes were much more frequent than Ab and aB, which means that the genes are linked and alleles on the same chromosome do not assort independently during meiosis.

Recombination is a rare event, so the most abundant gametes are the parentals. That is how we know that the mother had the AB/ab genotype. The recombinant gametes therefore are Ab and aB.

Distance (mu) = # Recombinants × 100/ Total progeny

Distance = (54 + 46) × 100/ 1000

Distance =  100 × 100/1000

Distance = 10 mu

How will a microscopic model of an ecosystem differ from a large-scale system? (1 point)
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

O Microscopic models move at a much faster rate than large-scale systems

Explanation:

In the passage it reads, " This small sample of the biosphere changes just like a large-scale ecosystem, except this microscopic model moves at a much faster pace"

Hope this helps :3
