Why HIV virus not spread by mosquito

Biology
1 answer:
muminat3 years ago
3 0
Mosquitoes have a 6-tube system in their "snout". It's a big big needle with 6 parts to it. 4 of those parts are used to pierce the skin of the human. The other 2 parts are 2 tubes. One of those tubes sends saliva from the mosquito down into the human. The other sends blood up from the human into the mosquito.
Now, unlike some viruses (like dengue and Zikka), HIV cannot replicate inside a mosquito. HIV replicates inside human T-cells...there aren't any of those inside a mosquito gut. Eventually the HIV is destroyed and never makes it to the saliva of the mosquito - so the mosquito can never infect a human with HIV.

How the animals and plants of a healthy ecosystem are organized and interact.

A healthy ecosystem consists of native plant and animal populations interacting in balance with each other and nonliving things (for example, water and rocks). ...

How are viruses spread from cell to cell?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Replicate itself into the cell host

Explanation:

Visus is made from a protein capsule and inside a fragment of RNA. Sometimes they also have some feet of filament to get attached to the cellular membrane.

Once attached, the virus injects its RNA into the cytoplasm and travels to the nucleus and insert this fragment of RNA into the cell DNA and start making copies of itself.

When the cell is full of virus, the membrane breaks and releases all the new virus to the neighbor cells, and the process starts again.

Suppose a mutation occurs in an individual animal. What do you think would happen if the mutation had these different effects on
Nady [450]

Answer:

For effect #1, the mutation will become more common (A). This is because with the organism having more children, the trait will be passed around much faster and will spread to surrounding groups of animals.

For effect #2, the mutation will become more common (A). This is because the disease will kill the animals who do not carry the gene leaving only the animals with the trait, making it much more common

For effet #3, the mutation will disappear (B). This is because the animal carrying the gene will slowly die off. After all,  they will not be able to reproduce and pass the gene to their children.

For effect #4, the mutation will remain at a low level (C). This happens because since it procures no change there will be no reason to transfer it so it will become a recessive trait in the animals.

Explanation:

Hope this helps. . . <3
