Haven't done living environment in a few years, but the assumption should be "2) female offspring would be unable to bite humans, since they can't fly" and the method would be 3) biotechnology.
The answer to "assumption questions" can usually be figured out by just reading the information given. Since its talking about FEMALE mosquitoes BITING HUMANS and spreading diseases, the second answer is most relevant.
The second question requires you to understand the definitions of each answer choice (or atleast the correct one). The most relevant answers would be 2 and 3, as those refer to humans changing the characteristics of a species. However, again, referring to the information given, we know that the research being conducted is with the DNA of male mosquitoes being altered. This is not an example of selective breeding, but rather of biotechnology.
Answer:
According to the cell theory cell is the structural unit of all living organisms and viruses cannot be considered as living organisms according to this theory
Explanation:
Viruses are not made up of cells and they only contain genetic material like RNA or DNA. since viruses are not made up of cells they do no fit the classification of living organisms. To define living organisms other criterion like reproduction, maintenance of homeostasis and ability to adapt to the external environment are mentioned in the cell theory.
Viruses have the ability to replicate and adapt to even extreme conditions of their environment which makes the question of classifying viruses in the category of living organisms even more complicated.
