Answer:
Explain how the daily energy needs are different between the zebra and its predator, the lion. Be certain to include any pertinent differences in the digestibility of these organisms’ food sources, along with differences in digestive tracts and energy spent on digesting. Cite any behaviors you feel may play a role as well.
Answer:
The lytic cycle.
Explanation:
<u>HIV is a retrovirus</u> that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.
When there is a triggering event, <u>this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery.</u> <u>Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. </u>This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.
This
is a specific response because in order to fight antigens, white blood cells,
the most important cells of the immune system, must produce large, Y-shaped
proteins known as antibodies to fight these invaders. This is a type of
specific defense (as I have identified antibodies as specific defenses is the
chart above).

Answer:
In all organisms, the instructions for specifying the characteristics of the organism are carried in DNA, a large polymer formed from subunits of four kinds (A, G, C, and T). ...
Most of the cells in a human contain two copies of each of 22 different chromosomes. ...
Changes in DNA (mutations) occur spontaneously at low rates.
