Explanation:

A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.

In general, the functions of the vacuole include:

Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell.

Containing waste products.

Containing water in plant cells.

Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell.

Maintaining an acidic internal pH.

Containing small molecules.

Answer:GGATCGA

Explanation:

The complementary double helix of the DNA are antipararell to each other.

Chargaff's rule state that Adenine always pairs with thymine (double bond) and Cytosine always pairs with guanine (triple bond).

Therefore if a DNA molecule is CCTAGCT, then the sequence on the complementary strand of DNA will be GGATCGA as written below

5' CCTAGCT 3'

3' GGATCGA 5'

How does a virus cause disease?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells and use those cells to multiply and produce other viruses like themselves. This can kill, damage, or change the cells and make you sick. Different viruses attack certain cells in your body such as your liver, respiratory system, or blood.

Explanation:

Viruses tend to target specific tissues (cells) in the host.

For example, the influenza virus has a predilection for the respiratory tract, hepatitis viruses target the liver, polio virus targets the motor neurons of the spinal cord and rotavirus multiplies in the gut. Symptoms of a viral infection may be subtle and nonspecific or specific and suggestive of the causative agent.

Dengue virus, Ross river virus, measles and rubella infections are associated with fever and a widespread red rash, chicken pox and herpes simplex viruses are associated with blistering, often localized, rashes; and hepatitis viruses cause liver damage and jaundice.

Bacteria tend to be less tissue-specific and non-discriminatory than viruses and can cause a variety of infections once they have invaded the host.

These bacterial infections are often manifested by the presence of pus wherever the bacteria settle, and systemic symptoms such as fevers, chills, pain, swelling and loss of function occur when bacteria invade and multiply.

Describe the process of speciation. Include in your discussion the factors that may contribute to the maintenance of genetic iso
ivolga24 [154]

Speciation is the process by which new and distinct species are formed. One of the most important factors necessary for speciation to occur is the genetic isolation of two populations. This genetic isolation can, over long periods of time, cause these two groups to become genetically incompatible. Factors that can lead to this genetic isolation include geographic separation and hostility among population groups.
