Answer: The correct option is B (progesterone).

Explanation:

The cervix is the ring of muscles also called the neck of the uterus in female reproductive system. This protrudes through the anterior wall of the vagina, opening into it at the external os.

After the fertilization of the ovum by the spermatozoa, the uterus prepares for the implantation which results from the secretion of hormones. Under the influence of oetrogen, secreted by the developing follicle, the cells of the endometrium divide rapidly causing the endometrium to build up and thicken.

While the viscosity of cervical mucus changes in response to hormone levels and during pregnancy, progesterone fosters the production of highly viscous mucus resulting in the formation of a plug that forms a physical barrier to bacteria and prevents their ascension into the uterine cavity. This plug is called CERVICAL PLUG.

Answer:

b progesterone

Explanation:

The plug is formed as soon as there is implantation of fertilized eggs. The thickness of the cervical mucus becomes different as hormone levels changes in pregnancy.  

The progesterone, encourages the production of thick fluid/ mucus  which brings about the formation of a plug. This prevents bacteria from getting into the uterine cavity.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the host cells.

Explanation:

Virus has different surface proteins that are recognized by the receptors present on its host cell. The range of a virus is determined by the recognition of these proteins by the host cell.

The interaction between the receptor on the host cell and surface proteins on the viral capsid is important for viral genome entry in the host cell and to determine the range of the host cells.

If the surface protein of the virus is not able to bind to the receptor on any cell then the virus can not infect the cell. For example, the HIV virus infects only those cell which have CD4 receptors. So the right answer is A.
