The correct option is D.

A virus refers to an infectious micro organism that is made up of nucleic acid molecule that is enclosed within a protein coat. Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they come in contact with living cells, in the absence of living cells they remain dormant and they do not show any sign of been a living thing. The nuclei acid molecule of a virus can be in form of a DNA molecule or a RNA molecule.

Answer: The answer is D/RNA or DNA core surrounded by a protein coat.

Explanation: One reason a virus is considered to be a particle rather than a cell is because structurally it is only a RNA or DNA core surrounded by a protein coat. It has none of the other features of bacterial cells.

Question 14 of 25
Archy [21]

The process likely to be occurring in the plant's roots will be nitrogen fixation.

<h3>What is nitrogen fixation?</h3>

It is a process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is converted to usable forms of nitrogen in the soil.

Nitrogen fixation takes place in the root nodules of leguminous plants in association with some symbiotic bacteria.

Thus, the only process that could be happening in the plant's root is nitrogen fixation.

The diploid chromosomal number of a cat is 38. If one of the homologous chromosome pairs does not separate during Meiosis I, how
kow [346]

Answer:

25 and 21

Explanation:

if a homologous pair does not separate, then the homologous pair (when the spindle fibers are dragging it over to the other pole), then that chromosomes DNA will be the exact same as the paternal and maternals' DNA. During Meiosis I, there is the stage where the homologous pairs are lined up and pulled apart (where an exchange tends to happen), but if there pair doesn't mix, then the exact same DNA is duplicated, and thus, the same traits can be found in the daughter cell. If you are talking about an entire homologous pair being pulled over to one side of the nucleus, depriving the other side of a chromosomal pair, the daughter cells would then have 21 chromosomes, and the other one would have 25 chromosomes. The gametes, similarly, would have 21 chromosomes and 25 chromosomes.
