Answer:
The lytic cycle.
Explanation:
<u>HIV is a retrovirus</u> that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.
When there is a triggering event, <u>this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery.</u> <u>Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. </u>This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.
Answer:
Photoperiodism is a plant's response to the number of hours of darkness in its environment. b. Plants that flower when exposed to less than 10–12 hours of darkness are called long-day plants.
Explanation:
Answer:
(C). white blood cell production
Explanation:
CSFs (colony stimulating factors) are glycoproteins that activate intracelluar pathways and promote proliferation of hemopoietic stem cell to form immune cells (white blood cells).
CSFs are released in response to infection and interacts with blood stem cells to produce new immune cells. These resulting new immune cells create an army of cells to fight against the infection and provide immunity.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
