Answer:
<h3>Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own.</h3>
<h3>At the most basic level, viruses consist of genetic material contained within a protective protein coat called a capsid; the existence of both genetic material and protein distinguishes them from other virus-like particles such as prions and viroids.</h3>
<h3>They infect a wide variety of organisms: both eukaryotes (animals, fungi and plants) and prokaryotes (bacteria).</h3>
<h3>A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage, often shortened to phage.</h3>
<h3>The study of viruses is known as virology, and those who study viruses are known as virologists.</h3><h3 /><h3>It has been argued extensively whether viruses are living organisms.</h3>
<h3>Most virologists consider them non-living, as they do not meet all the criteria of the generally accepted definition of life.</h3>
<h3>They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms.</h3>
<h3>A primary reason is that viruses do not possess a cell membrane or metabolise on their own - characteristics of all living organisms.</h3>
<h3>Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox and cold sores.</h3>
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
- So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.
Answer:
Photosynthesis
Explanation:
In photosynthesis, carbon reduction helps make glucose, the oxygen is formed with the reduction of water in the photosystems 2 and 1.
In cellular respiration, both of these compounds would be reactants.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
B] Meters per second
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- We know that speed = distance ÷ time. So hour per km and second per Mile cannot be the unit of average speed.
- Now the remaining options are <u>miles per hour</u> and <u>Meter per second.</u>
- In comparison with both of these;
we know that metre per second is the SI unit of average speed and hence the answer is <u>meters</u><u> per </u><u>second</u>.
The definition is the study of life
