Answer:

B) decreases.

Explanation:

    The HIV virus acts within the cells of the immune system, responsible for the body's defense. After entering the cell, HIV begins to act and integrate into the genetic code of the infected cell. The cells most affected by the virus are called T-CD4, which are used by HIV to make copies of itself.

    Each time this cell, when infected, divides, it produces a copy of its genetic code and, at the same time, a copy of the virus's genetic code.

    Infected by the virus, the cells of the immune system begin to function less efficiently until, over time, the body's ability to fight common diseases diminishes and is subject to the onset of opportunistic diseases.

If a single base pair gets damaged and goes missing from an rna, what would most likely happen?
Vilka [71]

A frame-shift mutation would occur. This is because a deletion will cause a change in codon sequence from the point of mutation to the end of the mRNA.  If the mutation is closer to the start of the mRNA, the larger the effect of the mutation on the translated protein.

A plant is treated with a chemical that blocks the flow of electrons between photosystem II and photosystem I, such that protons
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Reduce or stop the production of energy molecule i.e ATP

Explanation:

Proton is an essential ingredient to carry out light reactions successfully and the proton requirement is fulfilled through the proton gradient formed along the membrane. A chemical that blocks the flow of electrons thereby hindering the flow of proton will adversely affect the electron transport chain reactions thereby causing reduced/no conversion of ADP to ATP.

sprouted seeds un sprouted seed taken in a jar with lime water in both in which jar lime water changes it colour fast​
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Correct option is White

Explanation:

Germinating seeds carry out their

respiration process at the cellular level to

be able to generate energy for growth and

maturation.

They do not yet have the ability to carry out

photosynthesis.

As a result of respiration, carbon dioxide is

released by the seeds which turn lime

water milky or white.

So the correct answer is 'White
