Phantasy [73]2 years ago

Viruses need to infect living cells of other organisms in order to replicate their genetic material. When not in an infected living cell, they are considered independent particles, in the form of DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Only when a virus enters and infects a living cell, it can then start its reproductive cycle. It uses the host's (infected cell) replication system, to replicate its own DNA or RNA and create the necessary viral proteins to create more viruses. The newly created viruses are then able to infect other living cells.

A Venus flytrap closes around a small insect. Which life characteristic does this illustrate? A. reproduction B. response to sti
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer is B: Response to stimuli
what response to stimuli means is that the organism reacts to something around it
the venus flytrap wouldn't just randomly close for no reason
it had to sense the fly, and react by closing.

it's not permeability because permeability means allowing things to pass through like soaking up water
unless your teacher is referring to absorbing the nutrients of the dead fly after it's been killed
but I don't think that's what this question is about
