Answer:

Human activities have a greater impact on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems.

Explanation:

A species can be considered extinct when there are no more individuals in that group, that is, when a certain species of living beings definitively disappears from the planet. Since the appearance of the Earth, several species have disappeared and these extinctions happened for several reasons. Among the reasons, there are those caused by forces of nature such as earthquakes, volcanoes, changes in the planet's climate, such as glaciations - periods when certain parts of the planet were covered with ice, which caused the death of many beings that lived in those environments. However, in the modern society in which we live, the human being has been the biggest cause of the extinction of species.

The big problem is that the action of human beings has caused great environmental changes, altering the planet's climate, destroying habitats of several species. Anthropic action through the construction of roads, hydroelectric dams, polluting companies, deforestation for the formation of plantations and pastures causes several species to disappear because of changes in their living conditions. Human activities have a greater impact on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and for this reason the rate of extinction of terrestrial and freshwater species is higher than the rate of extinction of marine species

In order to be able to remain latent in an infected live cell, HSV must be able to shut down what process?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Apoptosis of the infected cell.

Explanation:

Lytic and lysogenic are the two different types of viral life cycle. In the lysogenic part of life cycle the virus remain in the latent stage. In this stage, the genetic material of the virus gets attached with the host genetic material and gets replicated with the host genome. This stage is called prophase stage.

In lytic part, the viral gene transcribe and produce viral protein from which new phage particles are formed which do apoptosis of cell and gets released from the cell to infect other cells. So to be able to remain latent in the infected live cell HSV virus should shut down the apoptosis process of the infected cells.
