Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.

Virulence and rate of transmission

Explanation:

The rate of transmission is more among less virulent viruses. Natural selection adaption processes balances virulence factor and spread of transmission.

A highly virulent virus may  be highly pathogenic and effect the host seriously rendering him/her immobile and under bed rest. hence the host will not move to many places which might prevent the spread of disease through contacting other persons.

Less virulent viruses on the other hand will have less pathogenic and will not render the patient immobile. So the host will be free to move around everywhere and even if asymptomatic might be a potential carrier of the virus. Hence the rate of transmission will be more in this case.

Answer:

16. mitochondria

17. lysosomes

18. smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

19. golgi body

20. golgi complex

Explanation:

16. Mitochondria are double membrane-bound cell organelles responsible for the supply and storage of energy for the cell

17.  While cells mainly use lysosomes to dispose of trash. Sometimes they simply hang onto their trash, performing the cellular equivalent of sweeping it under the rug

18. Are the storage organelle, associated with the production of lipids, steroids, and also responsible for detoxifying the cell.

19.  The Golgi body is the sorting organelle of the cell. Proteins are transported from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) to the Golgi.

20. is responsible for sorting and correctly shipping the proteins produce the ER. Just like our postal packages, which should have a correct shipping address, the proteins produced in the ER should be correctly sent to their respective address. It is a very important step in protein synthesis.

Suppose you have seismograph data from two recording stations for an earthquake. You have calculated the distance of the epicent
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The epicenter was either at location 1 or 2".

Explanation:

At least the information of three recording stations are necessary to undoubtedly calculate the location of an earthquake epicenter. The point at which the three circles overlap will mark the location of the epicenter. In this case we only have the seismograph data from two recording stations, therefore is not possible to determine the location of the epicenter. However, we can determine that the epicenter was either at location 1 or 2, the two points at which the circles overlap. I attached the missing figure.
