Answer:

C. A baby can't survive without help, just like a virus needs a host in order to reproduce.

Explanation:

Viruses are not considered living beings because they are obligate intracellular parasites, composed primarily of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA or both, in some cases).

In other words, viruses have no metabolism of their own, so they cannot survive without infecting a host cell, in which the virus sets in and modifies its metabolism in order to produce more viruses.

It is during these processes that viruses cause disease in parasitized organisms.

With regards to a given gene, what are the two strands of DNA called? Which strand gets transcribed?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The correct answer will be

1. Two strands- sense and anti-sense

2. Transcribed strand- Antisense strand (template strand).

Explanation:

In genetics, the two strands of DNA are known as the Sense and antisense strands.  

The sense strand is the coding strand which runs from the  5' end to 3' which is not coded into the mRNA molecule. The other strand which is converted to the mRNA molecule is known as the anti-sense strand or template strand which runs from the 3' end to 5' end.

The antisense strand provides the codons for the protein. Thus, the answer is correct.
