28. Replace Question: _______ are a type of non-living agent that insert their DNA into the genomes of cells, causing the cells

to make more copies of them.
Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Virus

Explanation:

A virus is an infectious particle which is composed of the genetic material enclosed in a protein structure called capsomere.

Since the virus does not fulfil the criterion of a living thing like it has its metabolism, reproduction, growth, movement and cellular structures therefore it is considered as a non-living thing.

Since the virus does not have reproductive machinery therefore they use the DNA replication machinery of host. They use the host's machinery by integrating their genome in the genome of the host and replicate their genome. Through this mechanism, they make copies of them.

Thus, the virus is the correct answer.

The following are the steps for B-cell activation. The steps are in an incorrect order.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

4. B cells become activated by interacting with helper T cells.  

1. B cells display antigens in MHC class II receptors on the cell surface.  

2. Antibodies released by plasma cells bind to the antigen so they will be destroyed by other cells of the immune system.

3.B cells rearrange their DNA to create a unique B-cell receptor.  

5. B cells undergo clonal expansion.

6. B cells digest antigens that bind to the antibodies on their surface.

Explanation:

B-cells get activated by interacting with helper T cells when they bind to the antigen to receptors i.e (MHC class II receptors on the cell surface) on the surface of the cell. Series of activities such as release by plasma cells which cause rearrangement of B cells causes the cell to divide and proliferate. The process through which daughter cells arise from a parent cell called clonal expansion.

Why are red blood cells unable to replace damaged proteins
Rainbow [258]

The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.

A(n) ______ is a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances.
slava [35]
<span>An element is a substance that cannot be broken into other substances further.An element is composed of one type of atoms all over. Like a molecule can be divided into atoms further. For example, Water is a molecule which is made up of Oxygen (O), Hydrogen (H). Here, Oxygen and Hydrogen are elements and cannot be further broken down into other substances.</span><span />

A cell’s progression through the cell cycle requires the activity of several cyclin-dependent kinases. What are these cdks, how
notka56 [123]

Answer: 1. Cyclin-dependent kinases.

2. The activation process is in two steps: binding of cyclin to cdk and then phosphorylation of cdk cyclin.

3. They are activated when cdks sends signals to cell that is pass already into the next stage of the cell cycle.

4. They are inactivated by the combination of P21 and Thr-14/Tyr-15 phosphorylation after uv induced DNA damage.

5. Changes are seen in target protein level when cdks level rises.

6. The targets are protein that promotes cell divisions.
