Answer:

B)attach specifically to host cell receptors

Explanation:

Viral spikes are one of the envelope proteins. These proteins are coded for by viral genes. Viral spikes project from the envelope surface. They are also called peplomers. One of the functions of these spikes is to specifically interact with the receptors present on the surface of the host cell to mediate the attachment of the virus to the host cell surface. Viral spikes and the host cell surface receptors are complementary to allow their specific binding. For example, the spike protein of the SARS-coronavirus bind specifically to the human host cell receptor ACE2.

Match the reproductive structures based on their function and the system to which they belong.

Rashid [163]

Complete question: Find the complete question in the attached file below.

Answer: From the question, the system to which the structures belong are:

Female reproductive structures include: Egg, ovary, fallopian tube, vagina.

Male reproductive structures include: Urethra, sperm, testis, Vas deferens

Explanation:

The female reproductive system is made up of structures, listed above, which functions together with the purpose of reproducing offsprings. Below is the structure matched with the correct function from the question given:

--> Egg: This functions as the sex cell or gamete

--> ovary: The site where gamete are produced

--> Fallopian tube: This functions to transport the gamete from the site of production in the reproductive system

--> Vagina: connects the internal reproductive fluids to the exterior.

The male reproductive system are also made up of structures that functions together to bring about the fertilization of the female sex cell. Below is the structure matched with the correct function from the question given:

--> Urethra: connects the internal reproductive fluids to the exterior.

--> Sperm:This functions as the sex cell or gamete

--> Testis: The site where gamete are produced

--> Vas deferens: This functions to transport the gamete from the site of production in the reproductive system.
