Suggest an explanation for why using a condom helps to limit the transmission of HIV,

Biology
1 answer:
Cloud [144]4 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by AIDS, a virus. Malaria is a protozoan disease that is cause by <em>plasmodium spp</em>. Both the virus and sporozoites of plasmodium live inside humans. However, in malaria, the sporozoites are inactive form of the parasite and they live in the human liver. The human being acts as an intermediate host for the life cycle to be complete.

In HIV, the virus incorporates its DNA into the host(human) genome and uses the resources to produce proteins that are found in the blood. Using a condom helps limit the transmission of HIV because the virus lives in the blood cells but does not affect the transmission of malaria because the sporozoites live in the liver and other organs. HIV can be transmitted sexually, transfusion with contaminated blood, sharing of infected needles and syringes while malaria is only transmitted through a mosquito bite.

What is the independent variable in this experiment?

A) The plant species

B) The amount of water that each plant gets

C) The amount of time

D) The different types of light the plants were put under.

The answer is D. The different types of light the plants were put under.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated by the experimenter in order to bring about a measurable response.

In this experiment, Suzie Q wants to know the effect of different colors of light on the growth of plants. The different types of light used are; white light, blue light, green light, red light. Therefore, the independent variable is the DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHT THE PLANTS WERE PLACED UNDER.

Proteins often bind to DNA to affect it's function. Where do most proteins bind to on the DNA?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

c. Major groove

Explanation:

The interaction surfaces of proteins are, in general, varied. From the point of view of the secondary structure, the surfaces of the proteins are formed by the surfaces of their α helices, β sheets and loops that conform them. The surfaces of the DNA molecules are less varied: the B-DNA helix has a monotonous “screw” shaped surface with phosphoribose ridges between which two grooves (major and minor) are formed. The difference between different nucleotide sequences can only be seen from outside in the major groove, where the bases appear. The surfaces of RNA molecules that possess tertiary structure (such as t-RNA) are almost as complex as that of proteins.

Since the major groove is the only site where the bases are accessible from outside the B-DNA without distorting it, the major groove constitutes the main recognition site. As the interaction between molecules is stronger if their surfaces are complementary, the protein-DNA interaction usually occurs by filling the major groove.
