All the mentioned things are the components of Columbian Exchange trade.  

The Columbian Exchange refers to the trade of animals, goods, and ideas between the Old World, New World, and the trading of slaves from Africa to the New World. In the process, Columbus introduced various animals and goods to the New World, like wheat, sugar, coffee, rice, pigs, horses, and cows.  

He also introduced goods back to the Old World from the New World, like corn, silver, gold, tomatoes, pineapples, chocolate, vanilla, and beans. Unluckily, with the exchange of goods, there was also an exchange of disease, like measles, smallpox, typhus, diphtheria, bubonic plague, influenza, and Scarlett Fever.

How does the proofreading mechanisms in viruses affect the frequency of the mutations a virus typically undergoes?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

DNA polymerases are the enzymes that build DNA in cells. DNA polymerase also proofread their work to check for any error the process of which is called proof reading.

If the polymerase detects that an Incorrectly paired nucleotide has been added, it will remove (splicing) and replace the nucleotide with the correct one before it continues with DNA synthesis.

Mismatch repairing also corrects other errors that omit proofreading. They fix mismatched base pairs, replace some insertion and deleted base pair that can result into mutations.

When an error is corrected the rate of mutation is reduced this is because mutation results from error during the DNA formation process either through Insertion of a wrong nitrogenous base, or deletion leading to formation of an entirely new amino acid sequence that result into abnormal phenotype.

Expain why or why not the renaissance was or wasnt a thing.
Gelneren [198K]

The Renaissance was a thing, not still a thing, but was a thing.

The period of European history referred to as the Renaissance was a time of great social and cultural change in Europe. Generally speaking, the Renaissance spanned from the 14th to the 16th centuries, spreading across Europe from its birthplace in Italy. During the Middle Ages, Italy was not the unified country that it is today. The Italian Peninsula was instead made up of a number of independent city-states, most of which were ruled by powerful families.
