The virus that causes mumps in humans is composed of a protein outer shell containing a core of DNA. The virus that causes the f

lu in humans is composed of a protein outer shell containing a core of RNA. Vaccines that are effective against mumps work efficiently year after year. Vaccines that work against the flu must be revised and changed every year. What accounts for the difference in the effectiveness of these two vaccines? A) RNA based viruses are more efficient at infecting many people. B) DNA mutates more rapidly than RNA and so causes a more deadly virus. C) DNA based viruses are more easily defeated by the human body since our own cells are made of DNA. D) RNA mutates more rapidly than DNA causing change in the viruses,so vaccines have to be updated regularly.

I believe the correct answer to the question is D. This answer choice makes the most sense given the context. Also, since RNA is less stable than DNA, it mutates more often.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

A virus is the infectious particles which consist of an outer shell made up of capsid proteins which enclose the genetic material of the virus which could be DNA or RNA.

Both DNA and RNA virus are pathogenic and certain antiviral vaccines which control the spread of disease. The target of these vaccines is the genetic material as they act by disturbing the enzyme complexes of replication, transcription and translation.

The vaccines need to be revised for the flu virus as the virus contains RNA as their genetic material which has the ability to mutate very easily as they were evolved during the time when the environment was unstable.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

An individual with this karyotype would be described as A) an abnormal male with nondisjunction. B) a normal male with the expec
kaheart [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is an abnormal male with nondisjunction.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The karytope is the complete picture of chromosomes present in a cell of an individual.

It is used to study the chromosome number and abnormalities related with chromosome numbers.

Chromosomal nondisjunction is the consequence when the homologous chromosomes are not completely separated from each other during meiosis.

While chromosomal translocation is the crossing over of genetic material between two chromosomes.

Only chromosomal disjunction can be seen from the karyotype.

Explain how the abiotic components in each area determined what type of plants and animals lived there.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Abiotic components of an ecosystem are water, air, light, soil, and temperature.

Now think about how the availability of these things will affect what could live in a specific area.

Consider a desert ecosystem. Deserts are arid, receiving little rain (water) and have extreme temperatures (both cold and hot). Because of these conditions only certain plants and animals can live here. These plants and animals have adaptations that are specific to the environment. If you were to put an organism that does not belong in there, they would most likely die out.

Tidbit for you. The Atacama desert is one of the driest places in the world, located specifically in Chile. At one point, this place did not receive any rain for 500 years! Still plants and animals are able to live in this area. When it finally did rain, the sudden downpour caused a radical change in this ecosystem. You would think at first rain would be good, but no. Because the changes the rain brought was too drastic, it caused a devastating effect on the organisms that lived there because they were not adapted to rain.
