Viruses are classified as non-living. Although they have DNA or RNA as genetic information, a protein coat, and some, a lipidic envelope, they do not have the machinery to multiply on their own and therefore are non-living. A virus is simply an infectious agent that, through different ways, many times only by releasing its genetic information inside the cell, replicates using other living-cells machinery. Viruses are able to infect any type of cell.

What is the microscopic anatomical make-up of skeletal muscles?

larisa [96]

Answer:

Muscles at the microscopic level are made of actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament) fibers in alternation and parallel to each other. During contraction, the fibres seem to slip against each other in opposite directions. Technically, the myosin head ‘walks’ on the actin – in an engage and release motion – with the help of ATP. Several actin and myosin fibers make up a myofibril. Each contractile unit in the myofibril is called a sarcomere – viewed as Z-discs at the microscopic level.

he Punnett square shows the cross for a particular trait between a homozygous dominant parent and a heterozygous parent. What is

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's make a Punnett square to represent this, with X representing our dominant allele and x our recessive.

One homozygous dominant parent = XX

One heterozygous parent = Xx

X X

X XX XX

x Xx Xx

So two out of our four outcomes are heterozygous for the trait. That means the answer is B. 50%.
