One hypothesis that has been proposed to explain the development of viruses suggests that viruses were beneficial because they a

llowed for rapid gene transfer, especially in prokaryotic cells, and therefore increased genetic diversity. If most bacteriophages were temperate, then this could have increased horizontal gene transfer between prokaryotic cells and potentially could have increased fitness. With respect to this hypothesis, why would it matter whether the bacteriophages were temperate or virulent?
a. Temperate phages are capable of lysogeny and their genetic material can be integrated into the host genome, causing damage rather than increasing fitness.

b. Virulent phages are capable of lysogeny and their genetic material can be integrated into the host genome, causing damage rather than increasing fitness

c. Temperate bacteriophages are capable of both horizontal and vertical gene transfer, allowing a wide range of ways to increase genetic diversity. Virulent bacteriophages are not capable of either.

d. Temperate phages don't immediately kill their hosts.

Answer:

Temperate phages don't immediately kill their hosts.

Explanation:

There exist phages that have shown the capability to alternate lytic and lysogenic life cycles, where don't kill the host cell. This feature allows a phage to reproduce without killing the host cells, thereby having higher probabilities of replicating its genetic material

Which statement describes a common measurement error?
Kitty [74]
Answer – C (Using instruments that have not been calibrated).

When the integrity of an instrument’s calibration has been compromised (usually due to exposure to a shock, vibration, or physical damage), it needs to be calibrated; failure to do this inevitably leads to inaccurate measurement; this is a very common measurement error.

As you may know, people’s physical and emotional health interact: One can affect the other. The characters in "In Another Countr
Margaret [11]

Answer:

To preserve their mental health, the characters must keep in mind that all suffering is temporary and although it is difficult, they will overcome this situation. What can help characters deal with their situations is by reasoning about the following questions:

"What led me to this situation?"

"What are my limitations in dealing with this type of problem?"

"How could I have acted to minimize the impacts of suffering?"

"Would any action by me prevent these disorders?"

Explanation:

Every time that the characters evaluate themselves and correct their behaviors, they will be able to follow the emotional evolution that will help them to deal with all their suffering. In this journey, each one has a different rhythm. In fact, we are different in almost every aspect of our physical and mental makeup. The variations in intelligence are enormous and also those related to aggressiveness, intensity of fears and the ability to deal with them. It would not be fair, therefore, to tell a character (or a person) that he is suffering from "nonsense". What is small for one may be large for the other. Underestimating the pain of others is not synonymous with help, but a lack of empathy.

We do have a duty and obligation, in the name of our own well-being, to try to get rid of our pains as quickly as possible, but that does not mean not feeling them. Some people do it more easily, while others "fall in love" with the problem and think about it in a recurrent and obsessive way. They silence the word, but the mind goes on chattering.
