<h2>b) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines a species as a group of individuals living in one or more populations that can potentially interbreed to produce healthy, fertile offspring

The biological species concept connects the idea of a species to the process of evolution
Because members of a species can interbreed, the species as a whole has a common gene pool, a collection of gene variants
In order to be considered to be a single species in the biological species concept, a group of organisms must produce healthy, fertile offspring when they interbreed
In some other cases, organisms of different species can mate and produce healthy offspring, but the offspring are infertile, can’t reproduce

Hence it includes the groups which are reproductively isolated so asexual fungi will be least relevant to this group

HIV can remain latent for several years and not cause any symptoms in its host. What viral reproduction cycle is occurring durin

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The lytic cycle.

Explanation:

HIV is a retrovirus 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, this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery. Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. 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.

True or false. The absence of a trait cannot be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Phylogenetic analysis is a means of establishing evolutionary relationships.

Synapomorphy is a shared ("syn") character that is different from the form found in an ancestor that distinguishes a clade (monophyletic group)from other organisms

The absence of a trait can be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis. For example, the loss of a trait, such as the loss of legs in snakes, can be a valuable synapomorphy for a clade.

Which one of the following is a difference between a normal cell and a cancer cell?

mixas84 [53]

For the first question, i think the correct answer is A. Normal cells undergo apoptosis while cancer cells don't. For the second question, The answer is option B. Cell division has two checkpoints namely, G1 checkpoint and spindle assembly checkpoint. The checkpoint which determines if division has properly occurred is the G1 checkpoint. At this point, is a damage in the DNA is detected or the has not reach the optimum size, the cell is stopped in G1 and is not allowed to proceed to further process.
