Answer:

a. the virus must be able to cross-link red blood cells directly.

Explanation:

Viral hemagglutination assay is a method which is used for the quantification of the relative concentration of the viruses.

The principle on which the hemagglutination assay works is as follows:

  1. There are sialic acid receptors present on the surface of the red blood cells which will bind to the haemagglutinin glycoprotein present  on the surface of the viral particle. 
  2. Due to the binding of the sialic acid receptors with haemagglutinin particle there will be cross-linking of the red blood cells by the viral particles and a lattice formation will take place. 
  3. The lattice will remain suspended in the solution however if the concentration of the virus particles will be less, the lattice will settle down in the well. 

Thus, this method allows knowing the relative concentration of the virus. 

<em>Due to its basic principle of cross-linking this method works well for only a few viruses such as influenza virus. </em>

T is tall while t is short. Choose all the genotype(s) for tall individuals.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Option (A), (C) and (D).

Explanation:

The concept of law of dominance was explained by Mendel while working on the pea plant <em>Pisum sativum. </em>According to this law, the trait which is able to express itself even in hetrozygous condition, the trait is called dominant trait. The trait that are unable to express itself, the trait is called recessive trait.

Here, T means tall and t is short. T shows the dominant trait whereas t is recessive trait. T trait can express itself in heterozygous condition as well. So, TT, Tt and TTTT shows the tall individuals and tt is short individual.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), (C) and (D).
