During your internship at Big Pharma, you discover a compound that opsonized the herpes simplex virus, reducing the duration of the outbreak. Which step of viral replication is the drug most likely interfering with

A. Attachment

B. Penetration

C. biosynthesis

D. Viral assembly/ maturation

E. Viral release is interfered

Answer: E. Viral release is interfered

Explanation:

Herpes virus is responsible for causing sores in the mouth and around it. The sores can also be found on the genitals. This virus is transmitted by sexual intercourse. The opsonization can help in reducing the time duration for the outbreak to occur.

The immunoglobulins will attack the virus particles and will have a phagocytic action on them by engulfing them. Thus this provides a barrier to the release of new viral particles in the host genome and provides immunity to the body.

The correct answer is second-degree burn.

There are three types of burns based on the severity of damage to the skin:  

• First-manifested by red, nonblistered skin

• Second-characterized by blisters and thickening of the skin

• Third-degree-thickness with a white, leathery appearance.

What type of membrane proteins are integral proteins that move ions or molecules across plasma membrane?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Channel proteins and Carrier proteins

Explanation:

These are type of membrane proteins that transcend the entire length of  phosphoslipid  bi- layer  in the plasma membrane.They facilitate the movement of ions  and molecules across  the walls of the plasma membranes.

Generally, substances like glucose, amino acids, are too large to pass through the phopholipid bilayers. Likewise ions of  potassium, sodium calcium, because of their polarities can not pass through either. They are ferried across the phospholipid by  group of protein structures called channel proteins. Some are also transported across by carrier  proteins.  The process by which these protein structures  aided the  diffusion of substances across the phospholipid bilayer is called Facilitated diffusion.

Channel proteins are pores, that are filled with water molecules with the entrance  well gated.  That is the entrance  is controlled by part in the inner structure  of the protein  which can open or close the pores  like a gate to control the movement of ions across it. e.g Sodium channels are gated for  movement  of sodium ions by voltage or ligands(chemicals) during  nervous  transmission to elicits action potential. Like wise Potassium channels allow  diffusion of potassium ions across the phospholipid bilayers. it gates are shut when sodium channels are open; this  regulate ion exchange.

Their structures are well fixed in shape , specific  to the substance or ions being  transported;and the rate of diffusion  depends on  the like hood of opening of the gate or closure.

Carrier molecules  also in the membranes  do not have a fixed shape, and their transport  direction is determined by the direction of concentration gradients. Thus they can flip on either sides of the membranes to aid diffusion across. Their movement can  be both passive and active, and the rates  of diffusion depends on the number of available carrier proteins in the membrane. They are also specific to the ions they transport.And are not gated,

Therefore these two membrane integral  proteins  facilitate movements of substances across the phospholipild bilayers

The inhabitants of the planet Mendel have three alleles for hair color: red (R), white (W) and blue (b). The R and W alleles exh
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

4 RW pink hair color

Explanation:

Let the allele for red hair color = R

Let the allele for white hair color = W

Let the allele for blue hair color = b

Since R and W exhibit co dominance it means none of both traits have the tendency or capability to masked the other .

As such individual with RW genotype = PInk hair color

Allele b is recessive and only individuals with the genotype bb exhibit the blue allele  

Now; if a cross occurs between a red-haired Mendelian and a white-haired Mendelian

i.e

RR   × WW

we have

           R           R

W         RW       RW

W        RW         RW

So we have the following offspring :

4 RW = 4 pink

So theoretically , the possible phenotypes results to 4 RW pink hair color

Mitosis and meiosis similarities
Artist 52 [7]

The alternation of generations in the life cycle of a plant includes the diploid and haploid multicellular stages. diploid and haploid are copies of the chromosomes. The spores in the plant is unicellular and when they start dividing through mitosis, it produces identical cells. These identical cells are all haploid. Haploid stages contain one set of chromosome from either of the parent. These identical cells create a multicellular system called the gametophytes. A gametophyte is the haploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant. The gametophyte makes the gametes. These gametes are responsible for sexual fertilization. It takes place when a sperm (male gametes) from the male fuses into the egg cell (female gametes) of the female. The formation of both male and female gametes creates a diploid zygote. Diploid stages contain one set of chromosome from each parent. This is where the sporophyte comes in. A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of the plant. It now contains the two sets of chromosomes from each parent.

The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.
