The correct answer is option (C) instructions for making more viruses.

Viruses are the tiny infectious particles that survive and reproduce in the presence of other host cells. The genetic material of viruses can be the DNA or the RNA. Most of the viruses have RNA as the genetic material.

The genetic material of viruses have instuctions to make new viruses. When a virus infects the host cell, the protein coat of the virus called the capsid surrounding the genetic material is removed releasing the viral genetic material. The genetic material then synthesizes an mRNA (transcription) which is used to make the host cell sythesize the viral components followed by the synthesis of the proteins (translation). Thus, the new genetic material and the proteins formed is assembled and the new viruses are released.

The body monitors the levels of oxygen in the blood to regulate breathing. Isabel is running in a marathon and is near the finis
Makovka662 [10]

Reflex action refers to the response to a stimulus, while reflex arch refers to the path taken by the reflex action.

<h3>What is the nervous system? </h3>

1. Low oxygen levels are detected by sensory receptors in the arteries.

2. An impulse is produced by sensory neurons.

3. Certain parts of the brain get an impulse from the central nervous system.

4. Motor neurons carry messages from the brain.

5. Isabel's respiration becomes more rapid.

Reflex actions are immediate, reflexive reactions to stimuli that limit bodily harm.

Therefore, it travels to the brain via the central nervous system and sends impulses via Isabel's motor neurons, which aid to speed up her breathing.

Which type of cell is responsible for causing apoptosis in cancer cells and virus-infected cells?
lbvjy [14]
The answer is natural killer cells.

Natural killer cells are a type of lymphocytes and they are important for the innate immune system. They recognise stressed cells much faster than other immune cells. Their response is rapid and usually only a few days after a viral infection. They also respond to <span>cancer cell </span>formation. While other immune cells can detect only those harmful cells that have specific markers on the surface of the cell membrane, natural killer cells can even detect those cells that miss markers for apoptosis.

quizlet chromosomes are composed of: please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit ans
Anna11 [10]

Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.
