Biology
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago

Answer: Viruses, although not living things, do show some characteristics that they are living. Because they can't reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA.

They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.

Which type of mountain is formed by vertical pressure? Which type is formed by the upward thrusts of Earth's crust?
Triss [41]
Fault-block mountains form when Earth's crust pushes material up and down near a fault line.<span> Rocks that get pushed upward eventually form mountains if there is enough seismic activity. The higher part of a fault-block area is called a horst, while the lower part is called a graben, according to Ducksters.

In which region would you find the BEST top soil
zheka24 [161]

The best topsoil will be found in the tropical region.

<h3>What are tropical regions?</h3>

They are regions of the world located within the two tropics - tropic of Capricorn and tropic of Cancer.

The region is characterized by adequate precipitation and relatively warm annual temperature. Thus, there is a high diversity of plants and animal species.

Tropical forests are known as the biodiversity hotspots of the world. This means that the soil is rich enough to support a diverse species of plants as compared to other regions of the world.
