Flu vaccines need to be revised and changed every year because the flu virus constantly mutates. Flu viruses can change in two ways: drift or shift. Antigenic drift occurs when genes of the virus slowly change during replication until the immune system no longer recognizes it. On the other hand, antigenic shift occurs when a major change in the virus happens. This usually leads to a totally different kind of virus. This is what happened during the H1N1 scare in 2009.
DNA viruses like mumps are less prone to mutation due to the presence of DNA polymerase. RNA viruses are more prone to mutation because they undergo reverse transcription to simulate the role of DNA.
Answer:
Explanation:
Transcription and translation The information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus during the transcription process. During protein synthesis, translation is the process of converting the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids. The genetic code describes the relationship between the base pair sequence in a gene and the amino acid sequence that it encodes.
Answer:
D - the production of a specific mRNA will increase as a result of the binding of the hormone receptor complex to the DNA
Explanation:
We are told that the hormone binds a receptor and then enters the cell, binding to the DNA and promoting transcription of a specific gene.
Transcription is the process whereby mRNA molecules are synthesised from a DNA sequence, which are then translated into specific process. D is correct, as the gene the hormone binds to will increase in transcription, producing a specific mRNA.
A, B and C are much more general processes, not linked to the actions of a hormone on a specific gene.
