Answer:

Explanation:

All viruses are obligate parasites; that is, they lack metabolic machinery of their own to generate energy or to synthesize proteins, so they depend on host cells to carry out these vital functions.

Answer:

All viruses are obligate parasites; that is, they lack metabolic machinery of their own to generate energy or to synthesize proteins, so they depend on host cells to carry out these vital functions. Once inside a cell, viruses have genes for usurping the cell's energy-generating and protein-synthesizing systems.…

In the experiment determining the parental genotype of plant seedlings from a monohybrid cross, if the dominant color was green
eimsori [14]

Answer:

cc × cc

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for plant seedling. The green allele (C) is dominant over the white allele (c). This means that the green allele will mask the phenotypic expression of the white allele in a heterozygous state (Cc).

In this experiment where plate 1 only contained white seedlings instead of all green, this illustrates that all the offsprings were recessive. This is because the parental genotypes were both recessive for the color trait i.e. cc.

Note that, the recessive trait can only be expressed when the recessive alleles are present in a gene. Therefore, the parental genotype would have been cc × cc, in order to give rise to all offsprings with the recessive trait (white colour).

Evgesh-ka [11]
<span>The question is asking us to fill in the gaps in the following sentence: When a person loses consciousness due to a head injury from a car crash, the (gap) keeps the body functioning by regulating the flow of information between the brain and the rest of the body. The best answer is that the gap should be filled by "autonomous nervous system" - this system is the one that is not controlled consciously, but one that is working in the background to make sure our body functions work properly.</span>
