Answer: It can be DNA or RNA.

Explanation:

A virus is a parasite which cannot reproduce by itself instead it uses the machinery of host cell to produce it's own progeny viruses.

Virus can be have either RNA or DNA as a genetic material. The either of the nucleic acid may be single stranded or double stranded. A virus particle will have an outer protein coat which is encloses the genetic material.

In a desert ecosystem, coyotes and rattlesnakes both eat the same type of mouse as a primary part of their diets. Recently, coyo
stira [4]

Answer:

Answer:  It will increase because coyotes are the competition.

Explanation:

An ecological niche can be defined as the functional role which an organism performs in the ecosystem in order to sustain it's life. The functional roles include how an organism obtains it's food, type of food eaten by the organism, type of habitat chosen by the organism and type of breeding season used by the organism.

In the given situation, both coyotes and rattlesnakes are dependent upon the same ecological niche that is they are dependent upon mouse as a primary part of their diets. As, both coyotes and rattlesnakes are dependent upon the same diet there may exist the competition between the two species. But it is mentioned that the coyote population is decreasing therefore the population of rattlesnake will most likely increase as the competition for the same diet decreased.

Explain the mechanisms for movement of materials across cellular membranes anatomy
trapecia [35]
There are 2 types of transport mechanisms that involve the movement of materials across the cellular membrane:

1. Passive Transport Mechanisms which is the movement of materials that does not require energy. Instead the movement relies on the permeability of the cell. Under this are three kinds of passive transport mechanisms:

a. Simple Diffusion: 
- the movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. No external energy is necessary for the movement. The materials supply the energy themselves. 

b. Facilitated Diffusion:
- This differs from simple diffusion because the movement is facilitated by proteins that make up the structure of the membrane. The proteins include channel proteins that allow ions and smaller molecules to cross the membrane. The other protein are the carrier proteins, which bind to materials like sugar molecules and move it across the membrane.  

c. Osmosis:
- This is the diffusion of water across the membrane. Osmosis moves water from regions where there are more water molecules of water per volume to regions where there are less water molecules per volume.  

2. Active transport on the other hand is a movement mechanism that requires energy. It uses the energy to send materials against the direction it is coming from through simple diffusion. This mechanism is used in a way to keep unwanted ions or other materials out of the cell.

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Divergence

Explanation:

One postsynaptic cell has the ability to receive the input from large number of different presynpatic cells and the divergent neurons can have connections with different postsynaptic cells.

The divergence in the neurons allows one neurons to have communication with the other neurons within a network.

The divergence neurons can communicate with any of the neurons (output) in the network.
