What is the 'flu pathogen'?

Biology

GOOGLE: There are three types of influenza viruses: A, B, and C. Major epidemics are caused by A and B, and it is usually these two varieties that cause the flu. They have a diameter of about 100 nanometers, making them a medium sized virus.

MORE GOOGLE: Influenza is caused by infection of the respiratory tract with influenza viruses, RNA viruses of the Orthomyxovirus genus. Influenza viruses are classified into 4 types: A, B, C, and D. Only virus types A and B commonly cause illness in humans.

ONE MORE GOOGLE: In the past, it was thought that infection with influenza A was more severe than infection with influenza B. However, a 2015 study in adults with influenza A and influenza B found they both resulted in similar rates of illness and death.

I hope this helps! I honestly don't know what the flu pathogen is either but I guess Google might have helped you a bit..? Sorry I couldn't answer properly. Goo luck!

  • The genotype of the person labeled B is Ee(recessive).
  • The genotype of the person labeled C is EE(dominant).
  • The person labeled D will have a recessive allele by both parents having a dominant allele for the trait.

<h3>What is an Allele?</h3>

This can be defined as the variant form of a gene. In this scenario, there are two variants which are dominant and recessive allele.

Both parents have to possess the dominant allele for all the offsprings to also have the dominant trait.

True or false: In order to increase the speed of replication, the DNA molecule is opened at several locations creating multiple
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

DNA's replication is the process where each daughter cell receives the same copy of the DNA. During the synthesis phase of the cell cycle replication of DNA occurs. While increasing speed of replication the DNA molecule is opened at several locations, and creating multiple replication bubbles.

Replication bubbles opened DNA strands at several locations where DNA are complementary to each other, such as one strand of DNA contains a nucleotides sequence of TCAGTA will have a complementary another strand with the sequence AGTCAT.

QveST [7]

An ecologist studying plants in the desert performed the following experiment. She staked out two identical plots, which included a few sagebrush plants and numerous small, annual wildflowers. She found the same five wildflower species in roughly equal numbers on both plots. She then enclosed one of the plots with a fence to keep out kangaroo rats, the most common grain-eaters of the area. After two years, to her surprise, four of the wildflower species were no longer present in the fenced plot, but one species had increased dramatically. The control plot had not changed. Using the principles of ecology, propose a hypothesis to explain her results.

Explanation:

  • This example highlights the impact of plant predation on species selection. In the fenced off plot animal predation is not a factor on plant selection.
  • In this case plants will compete for resources only with each other and in this case one plant had a selective advantage over the other 3 species of plants. In the plot exposed to animal predation the ratio of the four species is equal.
  • This is likely do to an increased preference of animals for the plant species that dominates in the fenced off plot and/or anti-animal predation tactics by the other three species.

a.Hypothesis: kangaroo rats are keystone species

-Reintroduce kangaroo rats (and the other locally extinct species)

-Should observe equilibrium re-established

b.Hypothesis: kangaroo rats exert top-down control on community

-Reintroduce kangaroo rats (and other locally extinct species)

-Increase kangaroo rat population in other plot

-Decrease (but don't eliminate) kangaroo rat population in other plot

c.Hypothesis: Locally extinct species inferiorly competed with the extant species of plant

-Remove surviving species from other plot (and remove kangaroo rat population)
