RNA viruses require their own supply of certain enzymes because

Biology
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

RNA viruses have RNA as genetic material whereas the host cells usually have DNA as genetic material.

So, in order to integrate its genome with host DNA, the virus must form DNA from RNA, that is, reverse transcription.

It is the process by which DNA is formed using RNA as a template strand.

However, reverse transcriptase (enzyme which catalyzes reverse transcription) is usually not present in host cells.

Thus, RNA viruses carry their own set of enzymes which help in the replication of viral genome and its recombination with host DNA as host cells lack these enzymes.

We reject the options a) and b) since the question says that the data supports "equally" both cases - so we have no basis for making a choice either way.

Further, in science the decisions are reached based on facts, not voting, so we also reject the answer D .

We are left with the answer C and this is also the best practice in science - when unsure, leave it as a hypothesis.

Compare the manner in which grasshopper hears to the way a human hears
Arturiano [62]
Grasshoppers have no ears, instead they use an organ called the tympanum located in the first segment of their abdomen, whereas humans take in sound waves through the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum picks up the vibrations and then transmits them to tiny bones in the middle of the ear, the bones pass the vibrations to the inner ear (which is filled with liquid) and the cochlea.

Hope I could help.
