Explanation:

The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.

If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Which organs perform both mechanical digestion and chemical digestion of food?
kotykmax [81]

Answer: Mouth.

Explanation:  

The mouth is known to be performing both the tasks of chemical digestion and mechanical digestion.

The food is ingested through mouth and the teeth perform the process of mechanical digestion by breaking down the food particles into smaller particles.

Then the saliva gets mixed into the food and the enzymes(amylase) present in the saliva helps in the digestion of carbohydrates.

So, mouth is the organ that performs the process of both mechanical and chemical digestion.

. If a person comes in contact with this same virus years later, what does our body produce to get rid of or kill the virus
borishaifa [10]

If a person comes in contact with this same virus years later, our body produces antibodies to get rid of or kill the virus

Explanation:

When a person is infected by a virus, the infected person's body develops antibodies as an immune response to act against the virus. Antibodies are produced as part of humoral immunity.

Antibodies work by neutralizing the viral activity, agglutination,  phagocytosis or by complement system.

Antibodies are protein compounds which can recognize the invading pathogens and attack them.

Antigens or viral proteins in the virus leads to the production of antibodies in the host's body.

The specific antibodies triggers innate immune response upon detecting specific viral antigens when infected and will help the body to get rid of  or kill the virus.
