I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.

Answer:
The correct answer will be option-B.
Explanation:
<em>Homo neanderthelensis</em> or Neanderthals are the close relatives of the <em>Homo sapiens</em> or modern humans which became extinct around 10,000 years ago.
The Neanderthals and sapiens are the two related species of the same genus Homo but they showed distinct features like Neanderthals were muscular and shorter in height compared to the <em>Homo sapiens</em>. Recent fossils indicated that Neanderthals and<em> Homo sapiens</em> interbreed in some parts of the world as they were closely related to each other.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
Answer:
C) OXIDATION
Explanation:
Oxidation is the reaction of a substance with oxygen. When a rock reacts with oxygen, it forms iron oxide, which weakens the rock.
All living things grow, also, all living things can adapt and every living thing is made up of cells.
