Answer: The drug abuse is influenced by the environment and exerts influence on the gene expressions.

Explanation:

The genetic make up of the person is decides, which genes will be expressed and develop a trait in an individual. But this genetic expression can be influenced by the environmental factors like food, exposure to sunlight, and others. This study which relate environment with the genetic make up is called epigenetics.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 4.

Explanation:

Viruses cannot be considered alive as they cannot carry out metabolic reactions on their own. Metabolism signifies the tendency to gather and use energy. The chemical reactions in the cells spontaneously change the molecules into the forms of energy, which can be utilized by the organism.  

However, in the case of viruses, they are too small and simple to collect and utilize their own energy. They are completely dependent upon the host cells for energy. The viruses only require energy when they need to make duplicates of themselves, however, they do not require any energy when they are present outside of the cell. Thus, as they cannot carry out metabolic reactions, they are not considered as living.
