Answer:

They're still VERY relevant.

Explanation:

In 2019, an estimated 34,800 new HIV infections occurred in the United States. HOWEVER new HIV infections declined 8% from 37,800 in 2015 to 34,800 in 2019. In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration gave the green light to using daily pills of an HIV medication called Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir) to prevent infection. It proved more than 85% effective when taken on schedule. New drugs are still being developed, here's a link from the

FDA explaining some different types of new TREATMENT medications:

Here's a link for medications that PREVENT HIV/AIDS:

The carbon cycle:

The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon travels from the atmosphere into organisms and the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make food. Animals then eat the food and carbon is stored in their bodies or released as CO2 through respiration.

Hope this helps :)

Will earth run out of water?
Kazeer [188]

<u>While our globe may never run out of water as a whole</u>, it's crucial to realize that pure freshwater isn't always available where and when humans require it. In fact, only six countries contain half of the world's freshwater. Over a billion people do not have access to adequate safe, clean water. Water scarcity will afflict the entire planet by 2040 unless water use is significantly decreased. "If we keep doing what we're doing now, there will be no water by 2040."

you will need to put your model chromosomes back together for the next part of this activity. the diagram shows how your partner
timurjin [86]

Sister chromatids have different alleles although carry same genes on same loci. So if it doesn't happen so, like if there are same alleles on sister chromatids then there is a problem in its formation. i.e., male and female alleles haven't contributed equally ( may be an error during their segregation process ). And obviously it doesn't happen in a real cell so we must understand this point. Because normally whenever it happens there's one half from the male and one half  from the female. (i.e. maternal and paternal alleles contribute equally).

I hope you get the answer!!!
