Basically, a DNA is made up of sequences of nucleotide bases (these are the little strands attaching each side of the DNA that you see in the model). These sequences define what features you get, e.g. hair colour, eye colour, etc. But, these can also mutate, forming a DIFFERENT sequence, this will then lead to a different hair color, eye color, etc.

The slopes show that sucrose gradient affects change in weight.

The slopes will be different because higher gradient concentration of sucrose will result in the higher amount of water moved. This means the higher sucrose gradient concentration, the more change in weight of the water.

N 9 Viruses use the host's machinery to make copies of themselves. However, some human viruses require a type of replication tha

Amanda [17]

Answer:

This is because the Viron has in its genome a specialized code for synthesising any missed enzyme for replication that is lacking in the host cell.

An example is the replication of the human DNA cells by the Immunodeficiency virus(HIV) . Human cells only have enzymes for copying DNA templates, and lacks the enzyme to convert the HIV RNA genome to human DNA.However these viruses have in its genome; code for synthesising its own RNA polymerase enzymes that copies or transcribed the human DNA to HIV RNA.

This ability of the viral cell to code for the host's enzyme has a therapeutic effect. Drugs can be targeted at the viral polymerase enzymes to reduce the replication and therefore toxicity in the host cells.

What is ballistochory?

torisob [31]

Answer:

Ballistochory. So it is called when the seeds are forcefully or explosively spread. The aim is to "throw" the seed from the parent plant as far as possible.

Explanation:

This is what is known by the violent and explosive dispersal of the seeds. The aim is to "throw" the seed from the parent plant as far as possible. (This works because the wind resistance is not high for seeds.)
