lu in humans is composed of a protein outer shell containing a core of RNA. Vaccines that are effective against mumps work efficiently year after year. Vaccines that work against the flu must be revised and changed every year. What accounts for the difference in the effectiveness of these two vaccines?

Flu vaccines need to be revised and changed every year because the flu virus constantly mutates. Flu viruses can change in two ways: drift or shift. Antigenic drift occurs when genes of the virus slowly change during replication until the immune system no longer recognizes it. On the other hand, antigenic shift occurs when a major change in the virus happens. This usually leads to a totally different kind of virus. This is what happened during the H1N1 scare in 2009.

DNA viruses like mumps are less prone to mutation due to the presence of DNA polymerase. RNA viruses are more prone to mutation because they undergo reverse transcription to simulate the role of DNA.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.

What differentiates anthropocentric and biocentric views of the environment?
Dafna11 [192]
If we were to differentiate anthroprocentric and biocentric views of the environment you could say that anthroprocentric is more holistic than biocentric. They consider the importance of the environment to human beings. Biocentric sees humans as an individual part of the environment.

Also Biocentric views tend to focus more on biotic factors (living things) and anthroprocentric veer towards the abiotic factors (non-living things).
