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.

____________ is the process by which inhibitory transmitters cause the inside of the neuron to become more negative.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At the synapse, neurotransmitters bind to neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic neuron’s plasma membrane. This results in the opening of the ions channels and the flow of specific ions to change the voltage across the membrane. An inhibitory neurotransmitter inhibits the firing of the action potential by making the inside of the membrane more negative. It is called hyperpolarization (inhibition).

It may occur when the neurotransmitter opens the Cl– or K+ channels to allow the movement of chloride ions into the cell while permitting the outward movement of potassium ions to make the inside of the cell more negative.

erma4kov [3.2K]
On the 12th day the Follicle Stimulating Hormone reach its peak concentration.

 The Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates the growth of the egg-bearing follicles in the ovaries. The levels of Follicle stimulating hormone vary during the menstrual cycle and are best measured at its peak or baseline level. FSH levels level vary during the menstrual cycle, reaching their peak prior to ovulation. It is best to measure FSH on day three of the period via a blood sample which is called the baseline level. It provides the most accurate predictions of ovarian reserve.
