Answer:
It fills up with waste liquids (known as urine) and swells up to store more of the waste fluid.
Explanation:
I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.

Answer:
The correct answer is All of the above. In nature there are four forces, (also called interactions or fields in Physics) that are responsible for all phenomena in the universe: the gravitational force or interaction, the strong interaction, the electromagnetic and the weak nuclear.
Explanation:
The fundamental interactions or forces that describe all the interactions between the constituents of matter are each of the interactions that matter can undergo and that cannot be decomposed into more basic interactions. There are four basic forces that describe all interactions: Gravitational, that is responsible for the interaction between particles with mass and, by extension, for the configuration on a macroscopic scale of the Universe and its stability. Electromagnetic, is responsible for the interaction between electrically charged particles and, by extension, for all Chemical reactions, Weak is responsible for the disintegration of certain unstable particles; that is, of those processes in which some particles decompose (decay) into lighter ones and Strong interaction is the most complicated interaction to describe due to its different behaviors at different action distances; by means of which a global vision of the to physics without breaking it down.
Answer: DNA is a molecule made up of two strands, twisted around each other in a double helix shape. The two strands are complementary which have a 5 prime end and a 3 prime end. To understand this question you must first understand the steps that follow.
DNA Replication:
<u>Step one: </u>
DNA Helicase (unzips) separates the strands.
<u>Step two:</u>
DNA Primase starts the process and makes a small piece of RNA called a primer. This marks the starting point for the DNA.
<u>Step three:</u>
DNA Polymerase binds to the primer and will make the new strand of DNA. DNA Polymerase can only add DNA bases in one direction, from the 5 prime end to the 3 prime end.
- The leading strand is made continuously.
- The lagging strand does not run continuously because it runs in the opposite direction. Each fragment is started with an RNA primer. DNA Polymerase then adds a short row of DNA bases from the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. This results in okazaki fragments because it can only replicate in small chunks. The process is repeated.
<u>Step four:</u>
Once the new DNA is complete the enzyme exonuclease removes all the RNA primers from both strands of DNA.
<u>Step five:</u>
Another DNA Polymerase fills in the gaps that are left behind with DNA.
<u>Step six:</u>
DNA Ligase seals up the fragments in DNA, in both strands to make a continuous double strand.
<u>Final answer:</u>
DNA Replication cannot replicate at the same time due to the leading and lagging strand.
Good luck!
Answer:
B. (i) yes; (ii)-yes
Explanation:
If a population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies can be calculated from the given values of genotype frequencies and genotype frequencies can be calculated if the allele frequencies are given.
For a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1
Here, p= frequency of recessive allele and q = frequency of dominant allele.
And p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
p2= Frequency of homozygous dominant genotype
2pq = Frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype
q2 = Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype
For example, if frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (q2) is 0.40, then, the frequency of recessive allele (q) will be = square root of 0.40= 0.63
Likewise, frequency of dominant allele (p) in this population will be = 1-q = 1-0.63 = 0.37
