How do DNA, chromosomes, and genes work as the instructions for heredity?
Margarita [4]
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule in living organisms wherein the genetic code or <em>genes</em> is stored. The structural conformation of DNA in the nucleus of the cells is called <em>chromatin </em><em />and in cell division, chromatin is grouped into a certain number (46, in humans, for instance) called <em>chromosomes.

</em>DNA provides instructions for hereditary such that a part of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA or mRNA for the genetic code to be transported outside the nucleus. The mRNA is then translated into polypeptides to form proteins that form specific functions in the human body.<em>

HIV can remain latent for several years and not cause any symptoms in its host. What viral reproduction cycle is occurring durin
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The lytic cycle.

Explanation:

<u>HIV is a retrovirus</u> that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.

When there is a triggering event, <u>this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery.</u> <u>Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. </u>This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.

Before classifying insects into different orders, review the larger classifications for insects:
sukhopar [10]

For an organism to be classified in the animal kingdom it is necessary for that organism to be eukaryotic and multicellular. In addition, he must not be able to produce his own food (he must be heterotrophic), and must eat by eating food taken from the environment.

To be classified in the dilo arthropoda, the organism must have an external skeleton, a segmented body and articulated legs.

To be classified in the insect class, the organism must have a separate body in the head, chest and abdomen, have two antennae, two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs.

During a lunar eclipse, what blocks the light from hitting the moon's surface?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Lunar Eclipse: The moon moves in an orbit around Earth, and at the same time, Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally is reflected by the moon. (This sunlight is what causes the moon to shine.)
