How does smoking make an individual more susceptible to infections?

Biology
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The active smokers and those getting exposed, that is, passive smokers are at enhanced threat of bacterial infections. Getting exposed to tobacco smoke enhances vulnerability to respiratory tract infections, comprising pneumonia, tuberculosis, and Legionnaires disease.  

Smoking compromises the anti-bacterial activities of leukocytes incorporating monocytes, neutrophils, B cells, and T cells, thus, demonstrating the mechanism for enhanced risk of infections.

Suppose that in another world, DNA does not undergo semiconservative replication, but instead a conservative mechanism is used.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

c. ¼ heavy, ¾ light

Explanation:

DNA replication follows semi conservative model which means that both the strands separate during replication and the newly formed DNA molecule has one old and one new strand. If instead of semi conservative, conservative mechanism is used, old strands will not separate from each other and the two newly synthesised DNA strands will come together to form a DNA molecule.

Here the cells were first grown in heavy 15N medium so all the DNA molecules had 15N and thus were heavy. Then the cells were transferred to 14N medium where only lighter 14N were available for replication process.

In first generation, 14N DNA molecules were synthesised from 15N DNA molecules so 1/2 DNA molecules were 15N and other half were 14N. In the second generation, 14N molecules will give rise to new 14N molecules and 15N molecules will also give rise to 14N molecules hence 1/4 molecules will be 15N (heavy) and 3/4 will be 14N (light).

what scenerio in which a population is evolving. Explain how the variants within a population was generated.​
vredina [299]

How do genes regulate the cell's Chemistry
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a variety of genes are involved in the control of cell growth and division. the cell replicates itself in an organized, step by step fashion known as the cell cycle.

Explanation:

tight regulation of this process ensures a dividing cell's DNA is copied properly, any errors in the DNA are repaired and each daughter cell receives a full set of chromosomes.
