Answer:

A

Explanation:

Usually a virus is mainly made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a capsid/envelope. It has no organelles like a ‘true’ cell. Because it cannot reproduce on its own, scientists struggle to categorize it as a living thing since  reproduction is a property of living things. The virus reproduces by hijacking the cellular mechanisms of the host cells to replicate itself. It does so by integrating itself in the genome of the host so that its DNA is also replicated, along with that of the host, by the host cell DNA polymerases and its proteins produced by the ribosomes of the host.

Answer:

The development of sharper visual acuity.

Explanation:

At one week after birth, they can see red, orange, yellow and green. However, babies see red as the first primary color.

Many advances in vision development take place in months two and three. Infants develop sharper visual acuity during this period, and their eyes are beginning to move better as a team. A child should be following moving objects at this stage and starting to reach for things he sees.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

1. The physiological changes that will occur when someone lives at altitude for an extended period include increased production of more red blood cells.

2. The changes are advantageous as the person can survive lower altitude better and strenuous activities that interferes with breathing.

3. The specific physiological pathway that results in the changes described involves decrease in pulmonary ventilation at high altitude leading to hypoxia then hypoxemia. The body then produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The Eocene Epoche coincides with the form of primates which are placental mammals.

Explanation:

The main characters of placental mammals contain large body,bigger brain that appear at that time from the fossil record.

True primates were evolve in 55 million years ago,at the beginning of eocene epoch.

These fossil records were found in  North America, Europe, Asia.

The fossil were squirrel like size with grasping hand,feet, that helps them for climbling the tree.

The fossil record of primate that were found contain stereoscopic vision.
