The  DNA   virus  uses  nucleus  of  the  host  to  replicate it  genetic  material since  it  lack reverse  transcriptase enzyme.The similarities between  the  DNA virus  with human  protein it  make  difficult  to  treat  this  virus without  damaging  the  host cell.
                    while
RNA  virus  has  reverse  transcriptase  enzyme which  is  used to  replicate  its  genetic material,  but  it  lack  ability  to check  errors,  which  led  to  higher mutation  rate.The  transcriptase  enzyme  is  used  to make vaccine  which  is  used  to treat  RNA  virus

Inga [223]

Answer:

Natural Selection

Explanation:

In natural selection process of evolution, traits that are essential for an individual to be fit enough to survive under environmental stress become dominant.

Since the flowers are of blue or yellow color, it is essential for a bee to be able enough to perceive the blue and yellow color. Hence, the eyes of bee with time have evolved to perceive these two color so that they can pollinate flower.

Which of the following statements about excision repair is correct?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a. True, b. False, c.True, d. True

Explanation:

a. Base excision repair is started by a DNA glycosylase  that recognizes the changes and removes the altered base by cleavage of the glycosidic bond binding the base and the deoxyribose sugar together.

b. Nucleotide excision repair works by a cut-and patch mechanism that removes their heavy lesions, including pyrimidine dimers and nucleotides . Endonucleases are responsible for the lesion of the damaged strand.

c. Nucleotide excision repair  is initiated by the proteins namely UvrA, UvrC, and UvrB in Escherichia coli.

-UvrD (helicase II) later removes the damaged strand

-DNA polymerase I (PolI) fills in the resulting gap.

d. DNA glycolases removes the damaged nitrogenous base.

-It leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone intact and thus creating an  apurinic/apyrimidinic site, which is commonly referred to as an AP site.

e. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A(XPA)

-This is an essential protein in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.

- It helps to make a pre-incision complex along with other proteins.
