Answer:
The bacterial DNA gets degraded at step 3 of the viral lytic cycle.
Explanation:
Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own, hence, they require a living host which they infect and use its replicational ability to reproduce theirselves. The infection cycle of this virus is regarded as its replication cycle. Viruses employ either the LYTIC or LYSOGENIC cycle for infection.
The lytic cycle involves killing of their host cell at the end of the cycle. Generally, the cycle starts with the attachment of my the virus to the cell membrane of its host using specific receptor sites (step 1). It then penetrates the host cell as seen in step 2.
After penetration, the virus then secretes certain degrading enzymes called ENDONUCLEASES that degrades the bacterial DNA. After which the virus uses the replicational and gene expressing ability of the host to transcibe its genetic material and replicate itself. This process called SYNTHESIS occurs in step 3.
Hence, the yellow ring in the image that represents bacterial DNA disappears in step 3 (synthesis stage) because it gets degraded by viral digesting enzymes.
DNA is double-stranded while RNA is single stranded. DNA contains thymine base whereas RNA contains uracil base. RNA contains a ribose sugar while DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar. The function of DNA is long term storage of generic info. The function of RNA is for translating and transferring genetic code from the DNA to ribosomes to create proteins.
Some <u>birds</u> are both primary consumers and secondary consumers.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Primary consumers are the class of animals that are feeding upon the producers as their primary food. Secondary consumers are the class of animals that are feeding upon a primary consumer to feed themselves.
Some of the birds like sparrow, humming birds etc feed on fruits and seeds of plants to maintain their lives. They are thus the primary consumers. Others like eagle, crow eats on flesh of primary consumers. So they are secondary consumers. Thus birds can be both primary consumers and secondary consumers.
Answer:
It will have a negative effect
Answer:
Phosphorus cycles between living things and the soil.
Plants absorb phosphates from the soil and turn them into organic compounds through assimilation.
Animals eat plants and pass the phosphorus through the food chain from one animal to the other.
An animal dies and decomposes, returning the phosphorus to the soil.
