Answer:

Group VI viruses (retroviruses)

Explanation:

Baltimore classified the viruses in different groups on the basis of their mode of replication and the type of genetic material they possess.

In the given question, the species which contains an ssRNA molecule but use DNA as an intermediate molecule to replicate is known as a retrovirus.

The retrovirus uses a special enzyme called reverse transcriptase which synthesizes the DNA from an RNA template. The DNA formed gets integrated into the host genome and gets replicated.

Thus, Group VI viruses are the correct answer.

If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{Protein}

Explanation:

Ribosomes are specialized to carry protein synthesis [Manufacture of protein]. Since, Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum which means that the function of RER is also protein synthesis. If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its  rough endoplasmic reticulum, Then the cell will probably carry out the manufacture of protein.

Hope this helped!

Passive Transport.... *
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Moves down the concentration gradient

Explanation:

Since diffusion moves materials from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, it is described as moving solutes "down the concentration gradient" (compared with active transport, which often moves material from area of low concentration to area of higher concentration...

Although carbon dioxide emissions are reduced geothermal power plants release odor pollution that smells like rotten eggs.
Temka [501]
The compound that smells like rotten egg is another pollutant, hydrogen sulfide with the chemical formula of H2S. This is specifically formed in the geothermal power plants because of the presence of the sulfur that when reacted with water or hydrogen may form the hydrogen sulfide.

Aside from the nucleus, where else can a small amount of dna be found in a eukaryotic cell?
mylen [45]

The nucleus is not the only source of DNA, besides it, DNA is also found in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells, as well as in the chloroplasts of plant cells and such DNA is called extrachromosomal DNA.

The DNA from the mitochondria (mtDNA) and chloroplasts are small and circular, which are similar to the prokaryotic DNA.

mtDNA contains its own genes that encode proteins that are part of the electron transport chain.

<span>Chloroplast DNA encodes for the components of the photosynthetic pathway.</span>
