Answer:

a) withheld information from test subjects about their condition

Explanation:

The Tuskegee syphilis study which was carried between 1932-1972 in the Macon County, Alabama on the African-Americans infected from syphilis.

The U.S. Public Health Service started the study promising the infected persons that they will receive the benefits from the studies like a healthy meal, proper antibiotic medication and other benefits.

But the U.S Public Health Service failed to provide the services mainly the medication in which antibiotic penicillin which could treat the disease was not provided to the patient. As a result of this, syphilis continued in their generations also and people and about 100 subjects died.

They were told that they had bad blood which cannot be treated and thus in 1972, this raised a question over this issue related to ethics as to why the penicillin was not provided as well why the person was kept away from the reality.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

The mechanism whereby an enveloped virus leaves a host cell is called

Levart [38]

Answer:

Release or egress

Explanation:

Virus can reproduce only within a host cell, this cycle of infection begins with the attachment, where the virus attaches to a specific receptor site on the host cell, after this comes the entry, in the case of enveloped virus, the envelope can fuse directly with the cell membrane to enter the cell, they can also enter through endocytosis. After entering the cell the virus initiates a replication and assembly mechanism depending on its genome, finally, the last stage of viral replication is the release or egress of the new virions produced in the host organism, some viruses can be released when the host cell dies, but some can leave infected cells by budding through the membrane without directly killing the cell.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The uniformity in the exact cells undergoing apoptosis makes C. elegans an excellent model organism for uncovering genes involve

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Over all growth and development cycle

Explanation:

C. elegans, due to its manageability, nervous system, muscle, skin gut and reproductive cycle makes it an ideal model. These nematodes are similar to human systems and lot of the research found can be applied to humans and medicine.

Apoptosis is the programmed cell death and this can be for many reasons such as repair, replace or removal of old or damaged cells. This groundbreaking research has captured the attention of scientist over the decades and many new findings are continuing to evolve.

Some phenotypes that are important in studying apoptosis are: Stress response, growth and development, tumor formation/regeneration and wound healing.
