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.

The correct answer is: major depressive disorder.

Explanation:

Major depressive disorder, commonly known as depression, is a mental condition that is characterized by <u>continuous internal pain, low mood, low self-esteem and loss of interest in activities that were enjoyable before</u>.

This disorder can be heavily discapacitating as it can interfere in normal life and work-life as well, while also producing abnormal eating and sleeping habits.

Connie has lost her husband a few months ago and she is not recovering from the pain that it caused her, which makes her deeply unhappy, not interested in anything and incapable of performing common tasks on her daily life. These are all symptoms of depression.

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Flowers contain parts for making seeds.

Explanation:

The part of the plant that is responsible for the sexual reproduction in plants is known as flowers. A flower is said to be complete if contains sepals, petals, stamens and pistil. If the flower lacks one or more structures, it is an incomplete flower.

A complete flower consists of a vegetative part and a reproductive part. The vegetative part contains petals (a bright coloured structure that attracts insects and birds) and sepals (a green coloured structure that protects rising buds and is usually found beneath the petals). The reproductive parts include stamen or androecium (male reproductive organ) and pistil (female reproductive organ). A flower may consists of only female parts or only male parts, or both.

Stamen contains two parts - anther, which produce and store the pollens (male gametes) and filament, which support the anther. Pistil contains three parts - stigma, which receives the pollen grains and style that connects stigma and the ovary, and ovary which contains a lot of ovules (female gametes) which forms the seed.  

Flowers reproduce by pollination, a process in which the pollen are transferred to the stigma of another flower. A pollen tube emerges from the pollen grain and grows through the style and reaches an ovule inside the ovary. Then the nucleus of the pollen grain passes through the pollen tube and fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and this process is known as fertilisation. The fertilised ovules become seeds and the ovary transforms into the fruit. The seeds are dispersed through various methods and the embryo inside them will grow into adult plants.
