liraira [26]3 years ago

<span>All living organisms are divided in into prokaryotic (lacking a nucleus) and Eukaryotic cells - with a nucleus. Viruses form an exception because they are not exactly "living organisms" - they cannot live outside of their hosts (they have to live in another cell, so they are not a cell by themselves) - the answer is that they cannot live by themselves, only withing other cells (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) </span>

The stage of a virus where it is activated to perform the function for which it was intended is referred to as the _________. se
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The correct option is B. The stage of a virus where it is activated to perform the function for which it was intended is referred to as the triggering phase.

Explanation:

The life cycle of a virus consists of the following stages:

The Dormant phase:

In this phase, the virus doesn't take any action. It just manages to get into the system or software.

The Propagation phase

In this phase, the virus makes copies of itself.

The Triggering Phase

In this phase, the virus performs its function.

The Execution Phase

What are the advantages to using prokaryotic as host systems for genetic engineering? What are the limitations to genetic engine
ahrayia [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The manipulation of the gene is called genetic engineering. In genetic engineering, fragments of genes are cloned by leading the genes into the host cell. The advantage of using a prokaryotic host system in genetic engineering is that bacterial cells are used to produce commercially significant products. For example, human growth hormone helps to treat dwarfism, and human insulin production, which is used to treat diabetes. The bacterium P.putida is created by genetic engineering, which is used to break down petroleum products. Genetic engineering also carries some potential risks, such as transferring the selected gene into another speice, benefit one species can harm another speice. Therefore genetic engineering must be used in limit in prokaryotes. These limitations are also addressable in single-cell eukaryotic systems. Biologics-based therapeutic medicines such as a vaccine, gene therapies, and cell therapies known as bioproduction are produced. Medicines are so complex that they can only be formed in a living system. Biopharmaceuticals, value-added food, fuels, chemicals, antibiotics, and many other products are produced by bioproduction.

1. Which of the following is NOT part of John Dalton's atomic theory? (1 point)
valentina_108 [34]
For the first question the answer is C. We know this because Dalton considered matter to be composed of very tiny indivisible particles called atoms which means it can't be further subdivided and thus no sub-atomic particles. And for the second question the answer is the Last one: <span>Ernest Rutherford. The rest of them did not give evidence of the existence of a nucleus or gave poor evidence. Hope this helps</span>
