Whiteflies are common pest insects found on cotton, tomato, poinsettia, and many other plants. Nymphs are translucent and mostly

sessile, feeding on their host plants' phloem (sap) from the undersides of leaves. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis into winged adults. Because whitefly nymphs cannot escape predation by moving, you hypothesize that their translucent bodies make them hard to spot by predators. How could you directly test this hypothesis? _____ Select one: a. Compare rates of predation on whitefly nymphs on plant leaves of different colors (for example, red vs. green poinsettia leaves). b. Compare rates of predation on whitefly nymphs coated with a nontoxic dye vs. undyed whitefly nymphs. c. Compare rates of predation on whitefly nymphs vs. whitefly adults. d. Compare rates of predation on whitefly nymphs by predators that are translucent vs. predators that are not translucent. e. Compare rates of predation on whitefly nymphs feeding on poisonous plants vs. those feeding on nonpoisonous plants.

The hypothesis devised in this study by the researcher is –  

" White fly nymphs escape predation because of their translucent bodies."

In order to test this hypothesis, the researcher is required to conduct an experiment where two sets of white fly nymphs are formed and fed to their predators. The two set of subjects would be -  

Set I – White fly nymphs with translucent bodies  

Set II- White fly nymphs with translucent bodies coated with harmless dyes.  

The number of predated flies in each set can be compared to deduce justification for assumed hypothesis.  

Hence, option B is correct

Explain how the Naked DNA exploits vector's DNA ability to make a vaccine.
mixer [17]

Answer:

DNA vaccines consist of DNA vectors or plasmids (small double-stranded DNA rings originally derived from bacteria, but unable to cause infection) into which the genes encoding one or more immunizing proteins of the infectious agent have been inserted causing the disease to be prevented.

Explanation:

Vectors are the functional unit of naked DNA vaccines. Genes that encode the proteins of interest and are of bacterial origin are inserted into these vectors. Bacterial plasmids are circular DNA molecules that self-replicate extrachromosomally in bacteria. The genes encoded in these plasmids are under the control of promoters, almost always of viral origin. When a plasmid is introduced into the cell it translocates to the nucleus, where transcription of the transgene begins; the transcripts are then taken to the cytoplasm and translated there. The newly synthesized proteins are degraded in the proteasome to 8-10 amino acid peptides, which are transported to the endoplasmic reticulum. Peptides of high affinity with their respective MHC I molecule stabilize and enter the secretory pathway, thus reaching the cell surface, where they are coupled with the T-lymphocyte receptor (TcR) present on the surface of T lymphocytes cytotoxic drugs (CD8 +) to induce their activation.

predict if the sensory nerves in a persons foot are nonfunctional, would the person feel pain if the foot was severely burned
irina1246 [14]
Nerves are cells that can detect any type of pressure, movement, or anything of that nature. If we didn't have nerves, we couldn't feel pain. If the nerves in a foot are damaged, you wouldn't feel the pain of it being burned.
