How does the virus use a host cell to make copies of itself

Answer:

I wasn't quite sure what virus you were referring to in your question, but here's a general answer: Viruses use their host cells' machinery to replicate themselves.

If they are a specific type of virus known as a retrovirus, they have the ability to use the host cells' enzymes to change the RNA contained within the virus into DNA (via some type of replication I suppose).

In other cases, if they contain DNA instead of RNA (that is, the virus), they can use the host cell's machinery to create RNA via enzymes involved in transcription and/or they can incorporate that DNA into the host cell's DNA. This is part of a type of viral replication cycle known as the lysogenic cycle.

In another type of viral replication cycle known as the lytic cycle, the virus simply has itself and its genome duplicated until the host cell bursts, releasing the viral material. Here, again, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate itself.

How has technology been used to address issues to sewage
vfiekz [6]
The answer is A, as most sewage treatment plants use bacteria to break down and remove nutrients. The main water pollution problem caused by sewage effluent is eutrophication, related to the release of nutrients into rivers and lakes. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus ions result in high algal growth. Some algal blooms release toxins, and algal blooms also disrupt the natural dissolved oxygen concentration cycles. Fish kills are often because eutrophication has resulted in anoxic conditions. 

Anyway, wastewater treatment plants utilise bacteria to facilitate nitrification or denitrification, which removes ammonia and nitrates/nitrites, respectively.

Round pea allele R is dominant to wrinkled pea allele r, while yellow pea allele Y is dominant to green pea allele y. Homozygous
allsm [11]

Answer:

RrYy (F1 generation)

Explanation:

This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two genes in the pea plant; one coding for seed colour and the other for seed shape.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, an allele is capable of masking another allele in a gene, the allele that masks or is expressed is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele.

Homozygosity of a gene refers to it having the same type of alleles while heterozygosity refers to having different alleles.

In this example, allele for Round (R) and Yellow (Y) pea is dominant over the allele for Wrinkled (r) and green pea respectively.

Homozygous round green pea (RRyy) crossed with Homozygous wrinkled yellow (rrYY) will give rise to a heterozygous round yellow (RrYy) F1 offsprings.
