The black band disease is caused by the tissue degrading action of cyanobacteria on the skeleton of the corals. Cyanobacteria thrive in places that are rich in nutrients. Hence the coral reef B will be the most affected one, as the water there will have a nutrients from the farm run-offs, that will help the cyanobacteria thrive in large numbers to deteriorate the condition of the exposed star corals. Reef A will comparatively less affected to reef B as the water is clean and is not contaminated by any run-offs to increase the water nutrient content.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct option is : It undergoes a lysogenic cycle.

Explanation:

A virus can replicate inside a host cell by two process :

  • Lytic cycle
  • Lysogenic cycle

In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA makes copies of itself and manufactures the viral machinery inside the host cell. Eventually, the host cell bursts causing the release of the viruses. In such a condition the varicella virus would cause chicken pox.

In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA of a virus get incorporated into the DNA of the host. The viral DNA might replicate when conditions become favourable and cause diseases. In such a condition, the varicella virus would cause shingles.

Where is abdominal injury most likely to occur in young children?
Kazeer [188]

Liver

In pediatric patients, the liver and spleen are very large in proportion to the size of the abdominal cavity and are more easily injured. The soft, flexible ribs of infants and young children do not protect these two organs very well and may allow injury to underlying organs, even without fracturing the ribs.
