<span>The second statement is correct.  Viruses can infect all cellular life forms, but each cellular species can be infected by own limited specific range of viruses. Most viruses that harm animals can not harm humans. But, some viruses can infect different species of mammals, for example both bats and humans can be infected be rabies.</span>

By what factor (how much) does the milli- unit differ from the centi- unit?<br> earth science
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

By a factor of 0.1.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the milli- unit has a factor 0.001 and the centi- unit a factor of 0.01 we can apply the following division in order to compute by what factor they actually differ from:

\frac{milli}{centi}= \frac{0.001}{0.01} =0.1

It means that the milli- unit differ from the centi- unit by a factor of 0.1. Conversely, the centi- unit differ from the milli- unit by a factor of 10:

\frac{centi}{milli}= \frac{0.01}{0.001} =10

Regards.

What was the discovery scientists made in the 1950's that led them to then accept Wegener's theory of Continental Drift?
aleksley [76]

Answer & explanation:

The theory of continental drift emerged a long time ago. When mapping some points on Earth, scholars suspected that the continents were united in the past.

Francis Bacon suggested in 1620 that the east coast of the South American continent and the west coast of Africa fit together perfectly, giving the impression that they had parted in the remote past. A similar observation to this had already been made by another scholar named Abraham Ortelius, around 1596.

A century later, hypotheses became a scientific theory with previously elaborated arguments. Then, the theory of Continental Drift was officially born, when the German Alfred Wegener formulated it in 1912, establishing that the Earth had been divided, in its slow fragmentation, into two great continents, Laurasia and Gondwana.

To free the rock from atop the perch, you need a ____________ , which could take the form of a person or a lever to free the roc
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

In terms of chemistry, a catalyst is usually defined as the substance that is commonly used in a reaction in order to increase the rate of reaction, without getting consumed. It helps in the reduction of activation energy.

In the given case, the lever or a person can be considered as a catalyst because both of these will increase the efficiency (or rate) in removing the rock from the top of the perch. Thus, the lever or the human will remain the same after the removal of rock as a catalyst can be recovered after the reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (D).

Different forms of a given gene are known as
yulyashka [42]

Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.
