Answer:
The lytic cycle.
Explanation:
<u>HIV is a retrovirus</u> that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.
When there is a triggering event, <u>this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery.</u> <u>Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. </u>This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.
Answer:
B

Food chain is a sequence of living organisms that eat one another. The goal is energy and nutrition flow in the ecosystem from one organism to another.
From the given options, the following are food chain in the food:
<span>grass -> grasshopper -> snake -> hawk
It is a linear pathway. The hawk eats snake, the snake eats the grasshopper and the grasshopper eats grass.

Answer : A metal in group 16 of the periodic table can become a chemically stable ion by gaining 2 electrons.
Explanation :
The group 16 element are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium.
The general electronic configuration of group 16 elements is, 
As we now that there are total 6 electrons in p sub-shell. So, a metal in group 16 can become a chemically stable ion by gaining 2 electrons.
Hence, a metal in group 16 of the periodic table can become a chemically stable ion by gaining 2 electrons.
