The virus that causes mumps in humans is composed of a protein outer shell containing a core of DNA. The virus that causes the f

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.

Why might radar installations present a hazard to human health? Give two examples.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "two examples of how radar installations might cause hazard to human health are: decreased ability to perform mental tasks and induction of eye cataracts".

Explanation:

According to the World Health Organization electromagnetic fields below 10 Gigahertz of power do not represent a threat to human health, which make most radar installations safe for operation. However, some studies performed in primates by the exposure of increasing levels of electromagnetic fields have shown that they can developed a decreased ability to perform mental tasks and induction of eye cataracts. This is explained by the exposure of electromagnetic fields that can increase the animals' body temperature by one centigrade.

Which region of the mitochondria has the highest concentration of h+?
storchak [24]
The region of the mitochondria with the highest level of hydrogen ion is the INTERMEMBRANE SPACE.
The mitochondria is made up of many parts, such as the outer membrane, the inner membrane, the intermembrane space, the cristae and the matrix. The high concentration of hydrogen ion in the intermembrane space is used to power ATP synthase.

musickatia [10]
The answer is A. Sex-linked traits are more often expressed in males because they are typically carried by the X chromosome and they are also typically recessive. Males only inherit one X chromosome, so if the one they inherit is linked to the disease, they will express it no matter what. Females, on the other hand, can be carriers if they inherit one X chromosome with the disease. This is because their other X chromosome can be normal, which would dominate the expression of the disease on their other X chromosome.
