Answer:

The correct answer is B. The virus can infect the host.

Explanation:

  • As the host and the virus both remain in the agar plate, the virus is capable of infecting the host cells.
  • The host cell multiplies and grows by utilising the nutrient from the agar medium.
  • After the virus particles infect the host, they replicate inside the host and produce new progeny virions which get released out of the host cell by killing it.
  • The newly formed virions infect other host cells and the process continues.
  • The killing of the host cells by the viruses result in the generation of clear zones on the agar plate which is also known as the zone of exclusion.
  • In the zone of exclusion region, the host cells have been killed by the viruses.

How did the Earth get these different layers? Did the Earth always have very separate, distinct layers? Describe what happened.
Orlov [11]
Answer: The different layers are a result of lighter parts (such as the continental crust) settling at the surface level and heavier parts (such as iron and nickel in the core) settling in the middle. The layers separate by density, otherwise known as compositional layering. The earth did not always have these layers, as it had to undergo cooling to form some of them (like the continental crust).

Why are negative feedback loops used to control body homeostasis? <br><br> (Short answer)
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Homeostasis is defined as the state of body in which body maintains several chemical and physical changes inside the body affected by external factors.

Negative feedback loop includes a sensor, stimulus, control center, and effector which is used to control homeostasis.

A negative feedback loop is a reaction that reduce an excessive response and maintain the functions within the normal range. for example: if temperature and blood glucose level increases in the body, negative feedback loops control both the variables and maintain homeostasis.  

Hence, negative feedback loops used to control body homeostasis.
