Answer;

a segment of chromosomal DNA

Explanation;

A gene is a  hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.

It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.  However, many genes do not code for proteins.

Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

In the article you read, the number of cases of paralytic polio went from about 2,500 per year in the 1950s to complete eradicat
EleoNora [17]

Oral polio vaccine is highly effective and inexpensive (about US$0.10 per dose, or US$0.30 per child and its availability has bolstered efforts to eradicate polio. A study carried out in an isolated Eskimo village showed that antibodies produced from subclinical wild virus infection persisted for at least 40 years. Because the immune response to oral polio vaccine is very similar to natural polio infection, it is expected that oral polio vaccination provides similar lifelong immunity to the virus.

Contact immunity to polio can occur when attenuated poliovirus derived from the oral polio vaccine is excreted, and infects and indirectly vaccinates unvaccinated individuals.

Can an enzyme be recycled? Explain.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Enzymes serve as catalysts to many biological processes, and so they are not used up in reactions and they may be recovered and reused. However, in a laboratory setting, reactions involving enzymes can leave the enzyme unrecoverable. This process makes the enzyme at once less reactive but more stable.
