Answer:

Uracil (U) is found in RNA only. Thymine (T) is found in DNA only.

Explanation:

DNA has the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). On the other hand, RNA has the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), uracil (U), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

Thus, only RNA has uracil (U) and only DNA has thymine (T).

Answer: What is expected to happen is that the secondary immune system acts immediately against the virus.

Explanation:

When a virus first enters our body, in order to defend itself, the body must first recognize what the antigen is in order to fight it through antibodies. Once it does it will keep a memory of it that it can use if this virus enters the body again. This will be done through the secondary immune system.

As the body already recognizes the antigen, it knows how to fight it immediately, generating a thousand times the amount of antibodies generated the first time.

Thanks to its memory cells, the virus will remain much less time in the body.

Group the terms according to the subatomic particle they describe.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the completed question can be seen in the document attached.

There are three main subatomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. However, the question only discusses two of them; electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).

A. Found in all matter

Answer: They are both found in all matter since all matter are made up of atoms and all atoms have both protons and electrons (and even neutrons).

B. Negative charge

Answer: The subatomic particle with negative charge (as discovered by R.A Millikan) is the electron

C. Exists in the nucleus

The subatomic particles found in the nucleus are the protons and neutrons.

D. Attract opposite charges

They both (protons and electrons) attract opposite charges because they are of opposite charges and generally unlike charges attract.

E. Moves at extreme speed

Of the two subatomic particles mentioned, electrons move faster than protons because of there lighter mass when compared to the protons. However, the fastest subatomic particle is the neutrino.

F. Bound by strong force

The protons are bound by strong nuclear force which binds them to the nucleus of the atom.
