When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material into its host, literally taking over the host's functions. An infected cell produces more viral protein and genetic material instead of its usual products. Some viruses may remain dormant inside host cells for long periods, causing no obvious change in their host cells (a stage known as the lysogenic phase). But when a dormant virus is stimulated, it enters the lytic phase: new viruses are formed, self-assemble, and burst out of the host cell, killing the cell and going on to infect other cells. The diagram below at right shows a virus that attacks bacteria, known as the lambda bacteriophage, which measures roughly 200 nanometers
Answer;
-Nuclei acid
Explanation;
-Nucleic acids are molecules that allow organisms to transfer genetic information from one generation to the next. These macromolecules store the genetic information that determines traits and makes protein synthesis possible.
-Nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group.
Answer:
Simply stated translation starts at a start codon (ATG) and stops at a stop codon (TGA, TAG, or TAA).
Explanation:
Answer: Option C.
High-energy waves like UV light or radiation physically damage the DNA
Explanation:
Mutation is the change or alteration that occur in the DNA sequence or nucleotides sequence of an organism which is caused by mistakes when the organism is copied or environmental factors such as UV light.
Ultraviolet light cause mutations by activating the SOS repair systemof which is a part of i a new DNA polymerase that has no power to edit e but has the ability to move past the thymine dimer and synthesize DNA, This lead to cells able to replicate but with a high frequency of mutations.
