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.

Ecological interactions can be categorized as competition, exploitation, or positive. Describe the types of interactions that fa
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Competition is an interaction between organisms or species in which both the organisms or species are harmed. Limited supply of at least one resource used by both can be a factor. This example is if two lions get into a fight and they end up hurting each other.

Exploitation competition occurs when individuals interact indirectly as they compete for common resources, like territory, prey or food. An example of this is when people are farming and they are trying to get the best food available but someone else might have already gotten it.

Commensalism is a positive type of ecological interaction between two species in an ecosystem. In commensalism, the association occurs between members of two different species where one species is benefited the other is neither benefited nor harmed. An example of this is tree frogs who use trees as protection.

What do dna microarray assays allow scientists to study regarding gene expression?
Allisa [31]

DNA microarray assays allow scientists to identify networks of gene expression across an entire genome.

The microarray is scanned to determine the expression of each gene printed on the slide after hybridization. The associated spot on the microarray turns red if a particular gene's expression is higher in the experimental sample than in the reference sample.

The DNA microarray is a technology that is used to identify whether a specific person's DNA has mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2. The chip is made up of a tiny glass plate that is enclosed in plastic. A few businesses use techniques resembling those employed to create computer microchips to produce microarrays.
