Answer:

Yes , when viruses infect us, they can embed small chunks of their genetic material in our DNA. Although infrequent, the incorporation of this material into the human genome has been occurring for millions of years. As a result of this ongoing process, viral genetic material comprises nearly 10 percent of the modern human genome. Over time, the vast majority of viral invaders populating our genome have mutated to the point that they no longer lead to active infections. But, as scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health have demonstrated, they are not entirely dormant.

Answer:

Viruses are continuously changing as a result of genetic selection. They undergo subtle genetic changes through mutation and major genetic changes through recombination. Mutation occurs when an error is incorporated in the viral genome. Recombination occurs when co infecting viruses exchange genetic information, creating a novel virus.

so i will say <u><em>YES</em></u>

How does a template strand of DNA code for an aminó acid? (Can you list all the steps?)
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The template strand is the antisense strand or non-coding strand with polarity in the direction of 3' to 5' end which codes for the primary RNA molecule.

The template strand codes for the proteins through transcription and translation. The transcription creates a copy of the sense strand in the form of RNA as RNA polymerase binds the promoter and adds nucleotides in 3' to 5' direction.

The mRNA molecule formed as a result of transcription contains code in the form of codon or triplets of nitrogenous bases which are read by the ribosomes and specific amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain via tRNA molecule.

Thus, a template strand codes for amino acids.

The answer to this question would be osteoclast.

Osteoclast is a cell that has an enzyme that able to digest bone called collagenase. Osteoclast also able to secrete acid that will solve the bone mineral. The osteoclast is used to remove excess bone in the remodeling phase. The bone that removed will be turned into calcium and phosphate that released into the blood.
