Function of the rod cells<br>Responsible for vision at low light levels
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity. Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity. The central fovea is populated exclusively by cones.

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:

<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.

Some regions of a polypeptide may coil or fold back on themselves. This is called _____, and the coils or folds are held in plac
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The options are

A. secondary structure ... hydrogen bonds

B. secondary structure ... peptide bonds

C. tertiary structure ... hydrogen bonds

D. primary structure ... covalent bonds

E. tertiary structure ... covalent bonds

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. secondary structure ... hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

The secondary structure of a polypeptide shows the localized regions of its organised structure being upheld by hydrogen bonds among the major groups

-NH and C = O

At the same time, it inhibits the hydrogen bonds of the side chains from influencing the reaction process.

The polypeptide secondary structure shows the dexterity to curl or fold as sustained by the polypeptide chains.
