There are choices for this question namely:

<span>a. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
b. T-lymphocyte virus type I
c. Epstein-Barr virus
d. Parvovirus
e. Poxvirus
</span>
The correct answers are HIV, T-lymphocyte virus type I, and Epstein-Barr virus. HIV or human immunodefiency virus will predispose the patient in developing Kaposi sarcoma in later stages of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. T-lymphocyte virus type I is believed to be the etiological agent for developing T-cell leukemia or lymphoma. Epstein-Barr virus is associated with both nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Burkitt lymphoma. 

<em>Parvovirus B19 causes a viral exanthem called erythema infectiosum which has no propensity to malignancy. Poxvirus is the etiologic agent for molluscum contagiosum, also with no propensity in developing malignancy. </em>

Male cones grow near the of the plant while female cones are located near the
Rom4ik [11]

Male cones grow near the<u> lower region</u> of the plant, while female cones are located near the<u> top of the tree.</u>

Sexual Reproduction in Gymnosperms :

The lifecycle of a gymnosperm is also characterized by the alternation of generations, just as the lifecycle of an angiosperm. In conifers, such as pines, the sporophyte is the part of the plant that is green and leafy, and the gametophytes, in both male and female, are found in the cones. Female cones are distinguishable from male cones by their bigger size and their location closer to the crown of the tree. Male cones, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be found closer to the base of the tree. Because the pollen is dispersed and carried by the wind, it is impossible for a gymnosperm to self-pollinate due to the configuration of the plant.

B. It confirmed that DNA is a double helix composed of two antiparallel strands.

C. It demonstrated that DNA consists of four nucleotides where the proportions of adenine/thymine and cytosine/guanine remain constant.

D. It proved that DNA is

semiconservative replication.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. It suggested that DNA is the

"transforming principle."

Explanation:

A. It suggested that DNA is the

"transforming principle."✔

Griffith's experiments proved

that transformation can be seen in

pneumococcus, but gave no proof based on what molecular background the transformation was

WHILE, the Avery MacLeod-McCarty experiments proved that DNA was THE TRANSFORMING PRINCIPLE.

B. It confirmed that DNA is a double helix composed of two antiparallel strands.❌

These findings were established by James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin

C. It demonstrated that DNA consists of four nucleotides where the proportions of adenine/thymine and cytosine/guanine remain constant.❌

The findings was established by Erwin Chargaff.

Which of these is least likely to be an adaptation of an organism to its environment?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "C. Cave fish have evolved degenerated eyes because they have no use for vision in dark, underwater caves."

Explanation:

All of these statements about organism adaptation to its environment are true, but the real reason why cave-fish are blind is not because there's no use for their eyes in the dark, but because being blind saves them energy, as using one's vision requires the activity of photoreceptive cells and neurons, and underground caves are lacking in both food and oxygen.
