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.

Discuss the meaning and importance of selective toxicity as it relates to antimicrobials.
Burka [1]
An antimicrobial<span> is an agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. </span>Antimicrobial <span>medicines can be grouped according to the microorganisms they act primarily against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria and antifungals are used against fungi.
</span>
Selective toxicity<span> refers to the ability of the drug to targets sites that are relative specific to the microorganism responsible for infection. Sometimes these sites are unique to the microorganism or simply more essential to survival of the microorganism than to the host.

Selective theory relates to antimicrobial because the antimicrobial is the drug that kills microorganisms and inhibits there growth,  selective theory is the ability of the drug.

1. Describe how radio telescopes are used to explore space.
Yuri [45]

Radio telescope picks up the radio spectrum of electromagnetic waves from celestial bodies (just like telescopes like the Hubble pick up visible light – only that radio waves are invisible to our eyes). They are therefore used to detect objects in space that produces radio waves. Examples are quasars and pulsars. Radio telescopes also enable astronomers to be whats beyond gas and dust in space that blocks out most of the visible light spectrum.

How is energy converted in a hydroelectric plant?
olga55 [171]
C, if you look at a water wheel, water flows on the wheel, turning a rod, powering something on the inside. Dams do the same thing except the rod goes into a transformer and is more complicated.
