Biology

RSB [31]3 years ago

Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct option is : It undergoes a lysogenic cycle.

Explanation:

A virus can replicate inside a host cell by two process :

  • Lytic cycle
  • Lysogenic cycle

In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA makes copies of itself and manufactures the viral machinery inside the host cell. Eventually, the host cell bursts causing the release of the viruses. In such a condition the varicella virus would cause chicken pox.

In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA of a virus get incorporated into the DNA of the host. The viral DNA might replicate when conditions become favourable and cause diseases. In such a condition, the varicella virus would cause shingles.
