Are genes a segment of DNA containing a set of instructions for making a protein ?
brilliants [131]

Answer: The given statement is True.

Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.

They possess set of  instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.

Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.

Thus, given statement in the question is correct.

A ____ is an agent that can cause infections and diseases.
Darina [25.2K]

<em>A </em><em>virus </em><em>is an agent that causes infections and diseases. </em>

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Viruses are microscopic parasites that infect cells of biological organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites, this is because viruses can only reproduce in living material by invading and utilizing the cells of living things because viruses do not have cellular equipment to reproduce themselves.

The term virus usually refers to particles that infect eukaryote cells (multicellular organisms and many types of single-cell organisms), while the term bacteriophage or phage is used for types that attack types of prokaryotic cells (bacteria and other organisms that do not cell nucleated).

The virus has been infecting since the days before Christ, this is evidenced by the existence of several discoveries, namely reports of virus infections in hieroglyphics in Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt (1400 BC) which shows the existence of poliomyelitis. In addition, King Pharaoh Ramses V died in 1196 BC and is believed to have died of the smallpox virus.

In 1880, Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch put forward a "germ theory" namely that microorganisms are the cause of disease. At that time also the famous Koch Postulate which is very well known today, namely:

  • A disease agent must be present in every case of the disease
  • The agent must be isolated from the host and can be grown in vitro
  • When the muri agent culture is inoculated into susceptible healthy host cells, it can cause disease
  • The same agent can be taken and re-isolated from the infected host

<h3>Various kinds of viral infections </h3>
  • Acute infections are infections that last for a short time but can also be fatal.
  • Chronic infection is a prolonged viral infection so there is a risk of symptoms of the disease coming back.

What are the two major methods by which cells communicate to coordinate their functions?.
Anni [7]

Chemical messengers and the Electrical signals are the two main methods by which cells communicate with each other to coordinate their functions and metabolic activities.

According to biologist, A cell communicates through chemical messengers, by sending the chemical signals to other cells and also receive that signal from another cell. Similarly, Electrical signals or impulses also work in the same way.

Therefore, body contains many types of lipids which works as a chemical messengers also electical signal or impulses can easily travel throught these lipids. Cell uses these chemical messengers and electrical impulses to communicate with other cell. Although, In order to trigger a response, these signals are transmitted across the cell membrane of the cell.
