A virologist has a cell-free extract of herpes simplex virus (HSV) that has a titer of 6 x 106 infectious virus particles/mL. Th

is virus forms plaques on monolayers of the monkey kidney cell line, CV-1. Following completion of a 10-fold dilution series, the virologist plates 100 microliters of each sample in duplicate.
Required:

3 0

Answer:

61 for Plate 1 ,

59 for Plate 2

Explanation:

Given that the original stock has a concentration of  6 * 10^6 infectious virus particles /mL

and it was diluted by 1:10000

New concentration = ( 6 * 10^6 ) / 10000 = 600 infectious virus particles/ mL

Also given that the virologist plates 100 mL of each sample

therefore; 0.1 mL has a count of 60.

The experimental results that he is most likely to observe in the duplicate plates will be ;

61 for (Plate 1) ,

59 for (Plate 2)

Which is a phenomenon that can result from directional selection? a. There is an increase in the number of different breeds of d
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

B) There is an increase in the number of giraffes with long necks in areas of Africa where low-growing trees have died

Explanation:

The directional selection is one of the ways of the natural selection in which the natural selection selects or favours the most extreme trait of the species and the extreme trait show higher fitness than the normal or average trait.

In the given question, the case of Giraffe necks shows directional selection as the normal length of the neck is not favoured by the environment but the extreme trait that is long neck is favoured by the environment and the selection shifted to that level.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

In proteins, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure depend on the primary structure.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:b. Amino acid sequence, hydrogen bonding between backbone groups, the overall shape of a single polypeptide, and combinations of tertiary structures.

Explanation: Primary structure is the amino acid sequence in the polypeptide chain. When the sequence is altered due to mutation it can lead to formation of entirely new amino acid sequence.

Secondary structure could be the helical structure or the Beta pleated sheet. It is form from the interaction of atom that are backbones.It is the hydrogen bond between amino Hydrogen and carboxyl oxygen atom in the backbones

Tertiary structure- Overall structure of polypeptide. It result from interaction of the R groups amino acids. It gives the shape of the polypeptide.

Quantenary- Are protein made up of multiple polypeptide chain. This chain are also called subunit. It is the combination of all tertiary structures given rise to a functional protein.

Compare and contrast the three different types of symbiotic relationships that we went over in class. Be sure to provide an exam
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Mutualism

Commensalism

Parasitism

Explanation:

In mutualism, both organisms benefit.

<em>Ex</em>. Sea anemone and clownfish. Clownfish gives the anemone food, the anemone allows the clownfish to use it as a home.

In commensalism, one organism benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor benefited.

<em>Ex</em>. Sharks or whales and remora fish. The remora rides along the belly of whales or sharks and when it eats, the pieces that float around, the remora eats the excess.

In parasitism, one organism is benefited, while the other is hurt.

<em>Ex. </em>Dogs and fleas. The fleas are constantly biting and feeding off of the dog's skin. The dog gets bitten and itches a lot.

Mutualism and commensalism are similar because at least one organism is benefited.

Parasitism and commensalism are different because instead of one organism not getting hurt, like in commensalism, that happens in parasitism.
