Answer:
A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.
B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.
C. Prions are proteins.
Explanation:
Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.
Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.

The only exception to the six chromosomes per cell rule for mosquitoes would be gametes or sex cells when cells in the ovary undergo meiosis the result is egg or sperm cells which haploid
This cell must be undergoing
meiosis because homologous chromosomes are associated with each other at the
metaphase plate which this does not occur in mitosis. During mitosis, a eukaryotic cell
undergoes a carefully coordinated nuclear division that results in the
formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.
