Answer:

A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.

B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.

C. Prions are proteins.

Explanation:

Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.

Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.

I believe the answer is Exercised-induced bronchospasm

Exercised-induced bronchospasm  or exercise-induced asthma is a bronchospasm that caused by exercise. Bronchospasm means that the bronchus is narrowing, makes the air become harder to move through it. This makes the person hard to breathe and coughing. Wheezing sound might be heard. Exercising in cold weather have a higher risk to induce this condition.
