Answer:

Although the Declaration of Independence stated that "All men are created equal," due to the institution of slavery, this statement was not to be grounded in law in the United States until after the Civil War (and, arguably, not completely fulfilled for many years thereafter). In 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified and finally put an end to slavery. Moreover, the Fourteenth Amendment (1868) strengthened the legal rights of newly freed slaves by stating, among other things, that no state shall deprive anyone of either "due process of law" or of the "equal protection of the law." Finally, the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) further strengthened the legal rights of newly freed slaves by prohibiting states from denying anyone the right to vote due to race.

Despite these Amendments, African Americans were often treated differently than whites in many parts of the country, especially in the South. In fact, many state legislatures enacted laws that led to the legally mandated segregation of the races.

Although  many people felt that these laws were unjust, it was not until the 1890s that they were directly challenged in court. In 1892, an African-American man named Homer Plessy refused to give up his seat to a white man on a train in New Orleans, as he was required to do by Louisiana state law. For this action he was arrested. Plessy, contending that the Louisiana law separating blacks from whites on trains violated the "equal protection clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, decided to fight his arrest in court. By 1896, his case had made it all the way to the United States Supreme Court. By a vote of 8-1, the Supreme Court ruled against Plessy. In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, Justice Henry Billings Brown, writing the majority opinion, stated that:

The correct answer is DNA or RNA. Viral chromosomes exist in a variety of conformations and can be made up of <u>DNA or RNA</u>

Explanation:

The hereditary material of viruses is organized into chromosomes of different types. From the genetic point of view, viruses can be classified into DNA or RNA viruses, double helix or single helix, and circular or linear, that is, viral chromosomes are linear or circular molecules of DNA or RNA. Viruses can be classified according to the type of organism they parasitize in: Bacteriophages or phages, animal viruses and plant-type viruses. Viral chromosomes are also subject to the recombination process, this happens when an individual cell is infected simultaneously by two mutant strains of a virus.
