Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage ofusing a dichotomous key to identify something.​

Biology
1 answer:
prisoha [69]3 years ago
7 0
Advantage: Dichotomous keys are very useful because they allow non-expert users to identify organisms by directing them to look at the known, important organisms. Disadvantage: Disadvantage of dichotomous keys is that if a single wrong decision is made at any juncture, a wrong identification will result. Sometimes it becomes obvious that an error has been made, and you can retrace your steps until you get back on the right track, but this is not always the case

HIV binds to Helper T cells of your immune system.<br> A. True<br><br> B. False
vredina [299]

Answer: True

HIV infects a type of white blood cell in the body's immune system called a T-helper cell (also called a CD4 cell). These vital cells keep us healthy by fighting off infections and diseases. HIV cannot reproduce on its own. Instead, the virus attaches itself to a T-helper cell and fuses with it (joins together).

Explanation:

T-cells, the thymus cells, work in a similar way but destroy infected cells rather than manufacture antibodies. In HIV infection, the body mounts a very strong antibody response in the first few weeks that partially works, bringing the viral load down from millions to, on average, about 50,000 copies/ml.

Mitochondria are thought to be the descendants of certain alpha proteobacteria. They are, however, no longer able to lead indepe
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "horizontal gene transfer".

Explanation:

The most common way at which genes are transferred is vertically, from parents to their descendants. However genes could be transferred among species, in what is known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). HGT is most clearly seen in bacteria, actually HGT is the cause of the phenomenon of the development of antibiotic resistance. The theory of an ancient mitochondria moving their genes to the chromosomes of its host is most likely the result of HGT. This makes sense since an ancient mitochondria most likely behaved as an alpha proteobacteria, an ancient bacteria that already developed its HGT mechanism..
