Answer:

A. decrease by half.

B. stay the same.

C. double.

Explanation:

Host-pathogen models resembels the host-parasite models and predator-prey which is used to evaluate the evolutionary strategies of pathogens.

The host-vector-pathogen system can be demonstarted as a change in the number of 4 types of people: healthy hosts, uninfected vectors, infected hosts, and infected vectors.

The threshold density should decrease by half, stay the same, or double, according to the standard host-pathogen model, if the combined death and recovery rate from a disease doubles, and the ability of the disease to spread from infected to uninfected persons.

Hence, the correct options are A. decrease by half, B. stay the same, and C. double.

Which part of photosynthesis is represented by the diagram to the right
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<em>Light-dependent reactions</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent reactions and light independent-reactions. This last stage is often called Calvin cycle.

The diagram shows reactions occurred in the thylakoid membranes which are located inside the chloroplasts. Therefore, we can identify that these reactions are the light-dependent reactions. During this part of photosynthesis, the energy from the sunlight is absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyl (Chl). Then, it is sequentially coverted into chemical energy stored in the form of molecules: NADPH (nitotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.
