Answer:

The correct answer is A. Tobacco mosaic virus

Explanation:

Virus can have DNA and RNA as its genetic material. Tobacco mosaic virus has RNA as its genetic material. Protein is not a genetic material because it is a product coded by genetic material.  

So a hybrid can be made only when the genetic material of two different organisms is mixed not two different biomolecules. Therefore when RNA from the tobacco mosaic virus is mixed with the protein from a DNA virus the result would be a tobacco mosaic virus only.

Describe how cancer cells are different from other cells. Based on that, explain why cancer is so hard to cure.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Cancer cells are cells that basically bypass any sort of regulatory processes in the cell cycle (and mitosis - the splitting of the cell). This leads to uncontrollable cell growth/duplication which hence leads to more and more cancerous cells. Cancer itself is so hard to cure for a couple of different reasons. If the cells are in the form of a benign tumor, that is a tumor that does not spread from its original infected tissue, it should be "easy" to remove with surgery. However, if it metastasizes, or spreads into surrounding tissues through the lymph or blood systems, then it becomes even harder to remove because of its far reach and complex structure. Also, cancer cells can be simply described as normal body cells that have gone rogue. That being said, things such as antibiotics, that are designed to get rid of foreign bodies, cannot get rid of cancerous cells without getting rid of most of your regular body cells as well simply because they cannot tell the difference.

Processes in the carbon cycle
Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration and combustion. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers to make glucose in photosynthesis. Animals feed on the plant passing the carbon compounds along the food chain.
