Ans.

Mutations are permanent alterations in the nucleotide sequence of genetic material that are transmitted from one cell to another. On the basis of inheritance, mutations are somatic or inherited.

Inherited or genetic mutations are those mutations that occur in germ cells. These cells are inherited by the offspring from their parents as they are present in gametes. All cells of a multicellular organisms are made up of a single cell zygote. Thus, genetic mutations are present in each cell of the individual as they are present in zygote.

On the other hand, somatic mutations include those mutation that take place in somatic cells. These mutations are non-heritable as somatic cells do not play role in reproduction. Somatic mutations are acquired by individuals in their lifetime due to errors during DNA replication and are passed to their daughter cells.

Mutations are sudden spontaneous random changes that occur on the genetic make up of organisms. They might be somatic mutations are genetic alteration by a cell and can be passed to its progeny of the mutated cell during cell division normally by somatic cells, or germ line mutation are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells ( sperms and ovum)

Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. what type of pathogen uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. virus uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup.

Explanation:

A virus is a miniscule pocket of protein that contains genetic material.

Viruses pose a considerable challenge to the body’s immune system because they hide inside cells.
This makes it difficult for antibodies to reach them. Some special immune system cells, called T-lymphocytes, can recognise and kill cells containing viruses, since the surface of infected cells is changed when the virus begins to multiply.
Many viruses, when released from infected cells, will be effectively knocked out by antibodies that have been produced in response to infection or previous immunisation.
Antibiotics are useless against viral infections. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Hence virus are the pathogen that use the cell's metabolism. And replicate itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup. viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them

What is the most likely effect that a war might have a food security?

ollegr [7]

<span>What is the most likely effect that a war might have a food security?

A. Crops would be burned and convoys attacked to deny food sources to the enemy

During war time, everything is done to ensure victory. Food and water of the enemies are either confiscated or burned down. Enemies will be starving and dehydrated making them susceptible to sickness or death. Decreasing there numbers and making it easier to defeat them in battle. </span>
