Answer and Explanation:

The microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi are basically composed of biological macromolecules (lipids, proteins, polysaccharides). As the temperature increases, the structure of proteins is disrupted and they lose their function. For example, enzymes that catalyze biological reactions are inactivated.

Therefore, wet heat sterilization is a process in which the material is heated during a certain time at a certain high temperature to destroy the microorganisms by producing the denaturation of structural proteins and enzymes.

Sliva [168]

Ecologists are the persons who study the interrelationships between organisms and their environments. Like they research upon the species found in forests or deserts interact with each other and as well as their surroundings.

They test whether a species is occupying its complete fundamental niche or only a portion of it by observing if the species are expanding their range after the removal of a competitor because two species with the same fundamental niche will exclude other competing species.

During DNA Replication, a DNA strand that has the bases 3'ATACGC5' produces a strand with the bases
Gemiola [76]

During DNA Replication, the DNA strand that has the bases 3'ATACGC5' produces a strand with the bases 5'TATGCG3'  

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The DNA Replication produces the newly formed two complimentary base pair strand from the two template base pair strand, so basically the already existing DNA strand is replicated, in order to produce complimentary DNA strand, with the template giving one strand to new each.

Thereby, here the given base was 3' ATACGC 5' so the first thing to produce the strand will be that the coding end will be reversed so the 3' end will have 5' end and 5' end will have 3' end. Then A bonds with T and T bonds with A and, so C bonds with G and G bonds with C, therefore, ATACGC will produce TATGCG. Thereby, answer would be 5'TATGCG3'.

Helper t cells interact with target cells by recognizing __________.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

antigen-MHC protein complexes

Explanation:

Helper T-cells recognise antigens that are complexed with MHC proteins and interact with target cells. Antibodies can be produced against a single antigen in a variety of ways. Toxic shock syndrome is a relatively mild condition that resembles other minor allergy responses. Antigen-presenting cells break down superantigens.
