Answer:

A falling object reaches what’s known as its terminal velocity when friction — the slowing force of air — cancels the downward pull of gravity. That means the drop stops speeding up and keeps falling at a steady rate. This should be the top speed at which a droplet can move. Yet scientists have observed raindrops plummeting faster than their terminal velocity.

I. treating the substance with nucleases that destroy all nucleic acids and then determining whether it is still infectious

Explanation:

Analysis of the nature of the specimen like the infectious agents (bacterium, virus, viriod, or prion) is very important to diagnose the diseases caused by them, investigate disease outbreak, to determine the clinical course of the infectious disease etc.

There are many methods like direct detection, cultivation assays, serological assays to detect the pathogen type.  

Molecular techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is done to further analyze or investigate the pathogen, like its microbial genome, the virulence factor etc. These are amplification methods which help to investigate the pathogenesis and disease progression. PCR method involves denaturing the DNA polymerase which is a nuclease type of enzyme. Nucleases are present with exonucleases and endonucleases, both of which acts at specific points on the DNA of the pathogen and will create new templates .

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Complete question:

True or False: The reason that the nail bed appears pink is the presence of a larger number of melanocytes in the underlying dermis.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Nails are composed of the lamina, which is a smooth, shiny, translucent, and keratinized structure. The nails are born the nail matrix. The newly formed nail slice along the mail bed, which is the plane surface under the nails.  

The nail bed places under the nail and is composed of a thin epithelium, with no granulous stratum, and a few layers of parakeratotic cells attached to the nail.  

The nail matrix and nail bed have melanocytes. Half of the melanocytes of the matrix produce melanin, while melanocytes of the nail bed are inactive.  

The nail bed is laying over many small vessels that nourish it and provides a pink color to the nails.

Apoptosis by definition is programmed cell death. Apoptosis happens when the cell recognize irreversible damage weather in the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, or in the genetic material inside the cell. This is to prevent proliferation of damaged or mutant cells that can lead to the development of neoplasm.
