Why are viruses referred to as obligate fuasites?

Biology
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b. They cannot reproduce outside of a host cell.

Explanation:

Viruses are <em>parasitic organisms</em> that need a<em> host</em> in order to<u> thrive</u> and <u>reproduce</u>. This means that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell, but can only do this by parasitizing it. They have to find a host cell in order to continue their life-cycle or else they won't thrive. The word "obligate" means <em>being restricted to a specific mode or function in life</em>. This shows that the virus has a restriction when it comes to <u><em>reproduction.</em></u> It cannot reproduce without finding a host cell.

Lesechka [4]

No their babies won't look alike.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Both the couples mentioned here i.e. Sally - Harry and Emily - Ken are both identical twins. So they have similar pairs of genetic setup. This was possible because they developed from same zygote.

But during gametogenesis, crossing over and independent assortment occurs which brings about variation in genetic setup among the offspring. And it's very less probable that same crossing over will occur between the gametes of these couples. So, their offsprings won't look same.

Which process takes CO2 out of the atmosphere
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxygen.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxygen. By respiration, O2 is removed from the atmosphere and replaced with CO2. However, these processes are not balanced. Some organic matter is not oxidized. (I'm very sorry if I'm wrong but I believe it's that)
