What is the role of 3tc in inhibiting hiv reproduction?

1 answer:

The role of 3tc in inhibiting hiv reproduction is to interfere with enzyme trancriptase since it has a similar shape to the c nucleotide of DNA.Reverse trancriptase pick up 3tc molecule which led to termination of DNa further thus block reproduction of HIV.

Sulfur emissions from industry combine with water in the atmosphere and form acid rain. A new factory is built very close to the lake that Josh visits often. By examining the table that shows what pH range different species can survive, Josh decides that the aquatic life will be affected by the changes in pH that the lake. Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are

A) perch and frogs.

B) mayfly and bass.

C) snails and clams.

D) frogs and salamanders.

The correct answer is option (C) snails and clams.

Acid rain is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with water molecules. Industries are one of the major contributors to acid rain. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity in water.

A factory built close to the lake can cause acid rain which affects the pH of the lake. Any change in the pH of the lake has an effect on the organisms in it. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral and pH values below 7 indicates acidity and pH values above 7 indicates alkalinity. Organisms have an acid tolerance level beyond which they are affected and can die. Perch has an acid tolerance of up to pH 4.5 and frogs can tolerate an acidic pH of 4.0. The acid tolerance level of Mayfly and Bass is a pH of 5.5. Salamanders can tolerate an acidic pH of 5. Whereas, Snails and Clams have a very less pH tolerance of 6. They are highly susceptible to acidic pH.

Thus, Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are snails and clams.

Answer:

•The gene responsible for the albinism is sex-linked

•The gene responsible for the albinism is recessive

• The pedigree is contained in the attached file

Explanation:

The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is said to be sex-linked because all those that were mentioned with the expression of albinism were females

The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is also said to be recessive because it was found to be rarely expressed and this goes in line with the definition of a recessive gene, which says; a recessive gene is the gene that remains unexpressed ( phenotypically) in the presence of it counterpart ( the dominant gene) in an allelic pair.
