Answer:
Viruses replicate only inside host cells.
Explanation:
<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>
According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.
<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>
Answer & explanation:
The cell was discovered in 1669 by the English scientist Robert Hooke when looking at a piece of tissue in a two-lens microscope. Hooke was able to visualize small cavities in the experiment piece, then naming such cell cavities.
Only a century and a half after the discovery of the cell, that the Cell Theory was launched, replacing the theory of spontaneous generation (or abiogenesis).
Before that, many scientists were already busy understanding the structure and functioning of the cell, generating knowledge that became fundamental to the development of biology, specifically cytology, a branch of science that studies the structure, functions and development of cells.
Answer:
Ecology can be described as the branch of biology which is related to the study of the interaction of an organism with other organisms and the environment. This study is important because both biotic and abiotic factors play a vital role in the existence of an organism. Abiotic factors such as soil type, food resources, water resources, amount of sunlight reflect which organisms will be able to live in an area. Biotic factors also influence the life of an organism just as the abiotic factors do.

a) B b) D c) A
Explanation:
Alleles exhibit dominance over each other leading to the dominant one being express and the recessive one not expressed. Alleles are variants (different) genes that codes for a specific trait.
At Anaphase 1 homologous chromosomes separate leading to each being pulled to the opposite pole and the sister chromatids remain together while the homologs experience segregation.
Dominant trait is the one that is expressed. It usually exercise dominance over recessive trait until it is removed from the recessive trait and replaced with another recessive gene before it is expressed.
