Which stage of viral reproduction takes place when the spikes of the virus bind to a specific receptor molecule on the surface o

f a host cell?
Biology

viva [34]3 years ago

Answer:

Attachment stage

Explanation:

Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own, instead they infect a living host in order to make use of its transcriptional, replication and gene expression abilities to multiply. This process of infection characterizes the reproductive life cycle of the viral cell.

Normally, viruses are specific when infecting their hosts but they generally commence the infection cycle with ATTACHMENT. In this stage, the viral cell with the aid of its proteinous capsid binds to specific receptor site on the cell membrane of its host cell before making entry by incorporating its genetic material.

Processes such as changes in orbital geometry or volcanic eruptions have clearly affected climate in the past, and these explain
docker41 [41]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

There has been a constant increase in the earth's global surface temperature. This global rise in temperature is due to the increasing number of volcanic eruptions on earth's surface, changes in the orbital geometry as well as due to the introduction of the industrial revolution, that has been taking place on earth for the last 200 years.

The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of a large number of pyroclastic materials and greenhouse gases and volcanic gases such as CO₂, SO₂, H₂O, H₂S and many other gases, which is harmful to the atmosphere. This leads to an increasing amount of temperature, resulting in the melting of the glaciers in the polar region.

Over this long time, plate motions have rapidly taken place, due to which the volcanoes were formed and erupted near the convergent and the divergent plate boundaries.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

KIM [24]
<span>D is the correct answer. Haploid cells only have one set of chromosomes. Meiosis results in duplication of cells with only one set of chromosomes in each - first chromosomes are copied, then DNA gets swapped, then the cells divide with one chromosome set in each of the four cells.</span>
