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.

Tin, because it has five energy levels with four electrons in the fifth level .

Explanation:

Tin has an electronic configuration as

1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,...........4d10, 5s2,5p2

They have four valence electrons in their outer shell

Among the four diagrams given Tin is least reactive because the atomic radius of tin is largest among all four options. Due to large atomic radius electronegativity decreases and hence Tin is the least reactive element among Neon, Chlorine, gallium and tin.

The electronegativity of an element is its tendency to complete its octet by attracting electrons towards itself. Also tin is at the lowest place in the periodic table among all the four mentioned elements, its ionization energy is also low hence less electronegative and least reactive.

Leukopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in white blood cells. What effect does leukopenia have on the body's abili
Korolek [52]

Leukopenia means  a low count of white blood  cells in the body. When there is a low white blood cell count in the body, and in particular a low level of neutrophils (a kind of white blood cell that fights infection), there is quite a significant risk of developing an infection, and once an infection is developed and the white blood cell count is low, the body will not be able to protect itself and fight off the infection. In severe cases , infection may lead to death.

Which has higher air pressure—warm air or cold air? How do you know?
Masja [62]
The one with higher air pressure is Warm Air.  The reason why is because when you boil water, the water always makes the lid rise.  This is because Warm Air has more activity in its atoms and molecules, so it is moving around more, which in turn means that there is more pressure.  

Hope I helped.  :)
