What is the type of virus that codes backwards from RNA to DNA?

Biology
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
3 0


The answer is D.

 A retrovirus is any of a group of viruses that  characteristically carry their genetic information in form of RNA.  These viruses have an enzyme called reverse transcriptase from which they derive their name because they follow the first step  of the central dogma backward  thus "retro" which means backward.

Reverse transcriptase makes DNA from RNA template  thus reversing the usual pattern of transcribing RNA using DNA as the template.

The central dogma of  molecular genetics  summarizes steps of protein synthesis as DNA → RNA → protein.  But retroviruses have modified the process to be  RNA → DNA → RNA  → protein.

Which describes the process of cellular respiration?
True [87]

The process of cellular respiration catabolic pathway that breaks molecules into energy

<u>Explanation:</u>

Metabolic pathways consist of two distinct types: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic deliver energy while breaking down molecules into easier molecules. Cellular respiration is one case of a catabolic pathway. During cellular respiration, sugar is held in by the cell and break to discharge energy that enables us to live.

Cellular respiration is the manner of oxidizing food particles, similar glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The method transpires in two states:

  • glycolysis, the division of glucose to pyruvic acid
  • the entire oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water

Vlad [161]
<span>A major difference between the eccrine sweat glands and the appocrine sweat glands is that eccrine glands empty into/onto the skin surface while apocrine glands empty into/onto the hair follicle.
There are two types of sweat gland, eccrine and apocrine. As the eccrine glands empty into the skin surface, they are present all over the body particularly on forehead, palms and feet. That's why we feel more sweat on these parts of the body. while apocrine glands empty into/onto the hair follicles so they are mostly armpits.</span>
