Answer:
Answer No 1:
The earliest evidence for the occurrence of viruses was the discovery of an infectious agent in the sap of a tobacco plant. Experiments were set with different filters from which bacteria could pass but viruses being even smaller than bacteria could not pass.
Viruses were difficult to study because they are very small and couldn't be seen even under a microscope.
Answer No 2:
Wendell Stanley made his studies on the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Wendell Stanley developed techniques and crystallized this virus. At that time, it was known that even a very simple cell does not undergo crytallization. Hence, Wendell Stanley got to known that this structure is some infectious agent which has the ability of crystallization.
Answer No 3:
The four forms of viral genomes are:
- double-stranded DNA
- single-stranded DNA
- double-stranded RNA
- single-stranded RNA.
Answer No 4:
The capsid can be described as proteins which make up a shell to enclose the genome of a virus. Capsomeres can be described as the protein sub-units from which a capsid is made. The shapes of a capsid can be characterized into
- rod-shaped: helical viruses, or inside spherical viruses
.
- icosohedral: icosohedral viruses or the heads of bacteriophages.
Answer No 5:
The components of a viral envelope involve phospholipids and membrane proteins and proteins and glycoproteins. The phospholipids and membrane proteins are derived from the host cell. The proteins and glycoproteins are of the viral origin.
Answer:
The hypothalamus plays ahuge role in the endocrine system. It is responsible for maintaining your body's internal balance of temperature.
When your hypothalamus senses that you're too hot, it sends signals to your sweat glands to make you sweat and cool your temperature.
When the hypothalamus senses that you're too cold, it sends signals to your muscles that make your shiver and create warmth, rising your temperature.
Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
Im pretty sure its
A. Number of Organisms
B. Amount of Matter
A million sorrys if im wrong :(
