The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres.
A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid.
A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.
Answer:
B. It was necessary that each of the two phage components, DNA and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment.
Explanation:
Hershey and Martha Chase used radiolabeled the DNA of some of the bacteriophage cells with phosphorus (32P). They radiolabeled the sulfur (35S) of the coat protein in the second batch of the phage cells. They infected some of the bacterial cells with phage having radiolabeled DNA while the other <em>E. coli</em> cells were infected with the phage carrying radiolabeled coat protein. This allowed the clear identification of the radiolabelled molecule (DNA or protein) present in the host cell.
They observed that the <em>E. coli </em>cells infected with phage having radiolabeled DNA exhibited the radioactivity while the other batch of the host cell did not show it.
Next, Mendel took the F1 progeny and allowed them to self-fertilize. In the resulting F2 generation, 3/4 showed the dominant phenotype, and 1/4 showed the recessive phenotype. ... 1 out of 3 round pea plants from the F2 generation were true-breeding and produced only offspring with round peas.
Answer: The correct answer to the question is option 2
If pressure is applied to a rock until it's volume is reduced by one half how the new density compares to it's original density is ; THE NEW DENSITY IS TWICE IT'S ORIGINAL DENSITY.
Explanation: Density is defined as mass divided by volume,density increases with pressure and it's determined by spaces between atoms in the object being measured.
Density is directly proportional to Pressure,so when pressure increases, Density increases and when pressure decreases,density decreases.
Density is indirectly or inversely proportional to temperature. so when pressure and density increases, temperature remains constant.
This is applicable to the scenerio with the rock in the question,as the pressure on the rock is increasing,the density is increasing too.
Top-down effects imply control through predation, including fishery, while
bottom-up effects imply control through food abundance, often thought to be driven by climate or nutrient load.
<h3>What is Top down regulation ?</h3>
The top-down effect refers to a higher trophic level influences the community structure of a lower trophic level through predation.
<h3>What is Bottom up regulation ?</h3>
The bottom-up effect means that a lower trophic level in the biological network affects the community structure of higher trophic levels by means of resource restriction
