Answer:

Persistent infection

Explanation:

Viruses have the ability to remain in the host cell in a dormant state or latent state for many years. This is a part of reproduction cycle of a virus called the lysogenic cycle. This causes persistent infection in the host because the virus remains in the host cell and cause infection.

This persistent infection can cause cancer in the host because the viral genome incorporates in the host cell genome and take controls on its gene machinery. For example, HPV can incorporate itself in the host genome and can alter it which can cause cancer. So the correct answer is persistent infection.

Answer:

B. retain its urine in it’s blood stream

Explanation:

Sharks are cartilaginous fishes that lives in the ocean. Oceans are always salty, hence organisms need to maintain a salt-water balance between their internal and external environment because of osmosis. Sharks are able to maintain this by ensuring that the amount of solutes in their internal environment is as much as that in their external environment.

Sharks retain a chemical contained in urine called UREA in their bloodstream to counter the osmotic effect of the salt concentration in the waters they live. This helps them maintain a concentration balance with their environment.

drek231 [11]

Answer: venus

Explanation: Venus' thick atmosphere traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect – making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The greenhouse effect makes Venus roughly 700°F (390°C) hotter than it would be without a greenhouse effect.
