Virus are living because they:
Reproduce, have Genetic Material (Nucleic Acids) and Adapt
.
Explanation:
Virus have genes or genetic material which are layered in a capsid or protein coat and sometimes a lipid bilayer.
It is not made up of cells yet can be considered a living organism because of the genetic material RNA or DNA in it.
The infect the host and take over host replication machinery and replicates itself. Although it is not able to replicate outside the living body.
They adapt to the host's body environment as many adaptation are present in it as capsid layer which protects its genetic material from getting degrade till the time it reaches nucleus of the cell.
There are 7 point criteria for an organism to be living, virus fulfils some of it except having made up of cells and having cellular organization.
The cytoplasm of a bacterial cell contains the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules that make up the bacterial genome (or nucleoid), the transcriptional machinery that copies DNA into ribonucleic acid (RNA), and the ribosomes that translate the messenger RNA information into protein sequence.
Answer:
The correct answer would be - d. With the end of genetic isolation gene flow took place
Explanation:
It is given that people of Troublesome Creek Kentucky were isolated and have a rare recessive allele that results in a blue tone to their skin. However, later these isolated people connected with the people from outside, and due which allow them to intermate. Intermating among populations from isolated and people from outside leads to gene flow.
Methemoglobinemia was present in the isolated population as they had both recessive alleles in their genotype and other hand people from outside might have heterozygous or both dominant allele genotypes that make them free from this disorder.
Due to the intermating and gene flow, the number of heterozygous conditions rises and after many generations slowly methemoglobinemia could have disappeared due to the masked recessive allele.
