How would you argue that viruses are not living things?

Biology
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Well if your saying "NOT A LIVING THING" here is my thought

Explanation:

Virurses host to living things and cells, (think of venom the movie)  they infect  life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Now your probably saying "wait that's an argument that viruses are a living thing," I just want to say the facts first.

My thought on viruses are not living things, viruses dont have blood or organs, nor a brain. Their like plants they feed off sun and water, then die after their seeds fall. In this case they find a animal feed off their organs and infect parts of the body. Then die after a bunch of other viruses go into the body, then pooped out and repeated. They wait for some thing to eat or touch ,then entering the body. They dont move just what ever they touch is infected. AND they dont create their own energy or wast.

Hope fully this will help. you can use this to put into your own words and take parts out of it.

Human cells have 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of a pair of identical chromatids attached together by a structure cal
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The answer is 46 chromosomes.

Before mitosis, cell duplicates its DNA material so there are 46 chromosomes in duplicates and in total there are 46 x 2 = 92 sister chromatids. During mitosis, sister chromatids first join in the middle of the cell and then separate towards the opposite sides of the cell. After they separate, there are 46 sister chromatids on the one side and 46 sister chromatids on the other side. Each sister chromatid at the end of cytokinesis actually represents the chromosome of the newly formed daughter cell.

slega [8]

Answer:

But what does “waxing and waning gibbous” mean? Rob says crescent is when you can see less than half of the moon illuminated. “Gibbous, you attach that to either waxing or waning when you see more than half of the moon illuminated,” he said. Waxing means it's getting bigger while waning means it's getting smaller.

Which of the following statements is true?
Paraphin [41]

Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.

Explanation:

  • Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
  • Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
  • A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
  • A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
  • The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
  • the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
  • The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
  • A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.
