Comment on the difficulty of describing a virus as a living organism.

Biology
1 answer:
Mama L [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: You can't describe a virus as a living organism...it's not living!

A virus needs a host to survive and replicate itself to create a illness. It invades a cell by attaching itself onto it and injects its DNA into the cell. Afterwards, the cell bursts and creates the new virus replica. Every cell that is affected by a virus always dies.

In Avery's experiment, he used DNase, RNase or proteinase to treat the heat killed S strain to see what component in the debris
nevsk [136]

Answer:

S strain

Explanation:

The Avery experiment demonstrated DNA is the genetic material. It expanded upon the findings made by Griffith.

They used Pneumococcus; Smooth strain which was virulent and the Rough which was not.

Cultures of heat killed smooth strain were prepared after which it was treated with DNases ,RNases and Proteinases to remove DNA, RNA, and proteins respectively. It will then be introduced to living Rough strain.

When treated with RNases only the RNA will be destroyed and transformation will take place leading to colonies of S stains being formed.

Only when treated with DNase did the colonies S strain fail to be formed.

Blood groups are a classic example of ______________ inheritance in humans?
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>There are multiple types of inheritance mechanisms in humans. The well-known ones are include autosomal dominant, where only one copy of the gene is enought for the individual to express that characteristic. Another type is autosomal recessive, in which an individual must receive a copy of the gene from both parents in order for the gene to be expressed. The type concerning blood groups is codominance and it is when two different versions of a gene are expressed. Both of the alleles have a role in the appearance of the characteristic. Both the A blood group and B blood groups are dominant; however, if both alleles are present, the individual has an AB blood group.</span><span />
