Viruses are referred to Agents since they don’t easily fit into categories of living things.

Viruses are composed of DNA and RNA and they can be referred to as

agents as they cause different diseases which is usually very difficult to

manage and treat.

Viruses don't perform the characteristics of living organisms, they lack cells

and isn't under Bacteria as they replicate only when in the body while

bacteria replicates anywhere.

Answer:

Explanation:

The statement that best explains the result would be that the rate of photosynthesis is greatest for direct sunlight and least for the infrared light.

The DPIP will normally replace and play the role of NADPH in the light reaction of the process of photosynthesis. Hence, it will become colorless as a result of reduction and the rate of photosynthesis can be monitored based on the magnitude of the disappearance of the dark blue color.

It means that the more colorless the liquid in the illustration is, the more the rate of photosynthesis. The color change moved from dark blue to clear colorless under direct sunlight, from dark blue to nearly colorless under indirect sunlight, and from dark blue to slightly lighter under the infrared light. This clearly indicates that the rate of photosynthesis is highest under direct sunlight and lowest under infrared light with the indirect sunlight having an intermediate rate.

The correct option is B.

A parent cell gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information. Which of the following data supports the idea tha

Yuri [45]

Answer:

A feline skeletal muscle cell undergoes cell division, resulting in two feline skeletal muscle cells.

Explanation:

We are looking for a parent cell that gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information.

In simpler words, we are looking for something that makes 'clones' of itself.

In this statement (second option), the parent and daughters are all feline skeletal muscle cells.

A feline skeletal muscle cell undergoes cell division, resulting in two feline skeletal muscle cells.

Other incorrect choices: (All having to do with reproduction).

A child has brown eyes; one of its biological parents has green eyes, and the other has brown eyes.

This situation has two parents, each with a different trait. The child takes one of the parent's trait. The parents did not make a 'clone' of themselves.

A human sperm fuses with a human egg cell, resulting in the development of a new human.

The parents don't make 'clones' of themselves. The sperm did not make more sperm. The egg did not make more egg cells.

A long-stemmed plant reproduces with a short-stemmed plant, and the offspring are all long-stemmed.

The offspring plant only took the trait from one of it's parents. Also, whole plants are not individual cells.
