Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.

Embryonic stem cells are cells derived from an embryo. These cells can be used to create new tissues for patients suffering from
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Option A, Some people consider embryos to possess rights equal to those of fully developed human beings.

Explanation:

When stem cells are derived from embryo, the embryo dies in lieu to end of its cell development and this happens because stem cells are the only cells that have potential to develop an embryo by producing more stem cells and differentiating them into specific organs.

In most of the study, embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that are obtained from IVF technique as an spare embryo. But this act is considered unethical as embryos have life within them and hence they also have rights equal to a fully developed human being.

Hence, option A is correct.

Which of the following taxonomic categories contains all the others listed here?
ale4655 [162]

The correct answer is class.

Taxonomic category (rank) is the level of a group of organisms in a taxonomic hierarchy. The major ranks are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Higher rank has more general characteristics of organisms. The lowest rank-species contains most specific descriptions of life forms in it.

Mutations in DNA include deletions and insertions. These types of mutations:
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

If the virus infects a host cell and replicates, the new viruses will contain A. influenza A virus protein coats and poliovirus
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It will depend on the type of virus that infects the host's cells. For example, if it is a poliovirus, the answer will be <em>"D. poliovirus protein coats and poliovirus genetic material"</em>

Explanation:

A virus is composed of genetic material encapsulated by a protective coat protein (capsid). The genetic material of a virus can be either DNA or RNA and single-strand or double-stranded (either DNA or RNA). Moreover, the capsid may be surrounded by an additional spikey coat known as envelope. During infection, a virus invades the host´s cells to replicate both its genetic material and its proteins (they use host cellular machinery to synthesize new viral proteins). Depending on the type of virus, they can integrate and replicate its genetic material into the host genome (DNA viruses and RNA retroviruses) or replicate its genetic material outside the host genome (RNA viruses in general).
