Answer:

Viruses do, however, show some characteristics of living things. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA. They evolve to adapt to their hosts.Living characteristics of viruses include the ability to reproduce – but only in living host cells – and the ability to mutate.

Which materials undergo radioactive decay? Check all that apply.
ZanzabumX [31]
Atoms that are unstable undergo radioactive decay,

Elements with half life(that's how we know that it decayed),

Atoms that release energy and particles(like alpha beta and gamma particles) and,

Elements that have turned into a new element (as in radioactive decay no. of protons can decrease)

And to be precise the elements that have neutron to proton ratio of more than 1 undergo radioactive decay, since the nuclear attraction gets all weird after that.

Put the following terms in the order they would occur in the angiosperm life cycle. The first one is done.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: Angiosperms are the plants which produce flowers for sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

In the angiosperm life cycle the following events occur:

1. Seed germination: Under suitable condition inside the soil obtain water, oxygen and minerals the seed germinates and from the two precursors plumule from where the stem emerge and radicle  from where the root emerges.

2. Mature plant with flower: The plant gets matured with the develop of root and shoot and from the shoot the bud originates which produces the flower.

3. Pollination: During the process of pollination a mature pollen grain is transferred towards the female reproductive structure typically the stigma receives the pollen grain.

3. Fertilization of pollen with egg in ovary: The pollen is the male gametophyte which develops in the anthers which are the male reproductive structure of the flower and the egg or ovule is the female gamete which develops inside the ovary or female gametophyte. The fusion of male gametes provided by the pollen grain with that of the ovule is called as fertilization.

4. Formation of fruit with seed: After the fertilization process the ovules develop into seed and the ovary into fruit.

5. Seed dispersal: The fruit gets detached from the plant and it may get rotten and dried the dried seeds disperse and may germinate in favorable conditions.

Why is it difficult to observe individual chromosomes with a light microscope during interphase?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes.  The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.  

Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.
