Virus? Living or not? If we use the image as an indicator, we might say living because A) proteins are present. B) it contains a nucleic acid. C) there is a complex structure. D) in a host, it is capable of reproduction.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The correct answer is -

D) in a host, it is capable of reproduction.

Explanation:

Virus can be described as a microscopic, infective, non living agent that typically possesses genetic material (DNA or RNA) that is surrounded by a proteinaceous coat (capsid).

It can not replicate by its own and thus it uses host machinery for replication. In other words, it multiplies within host organism. This is the reason that it can be called as living.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

Answer 2
Answer:

There is a long-lasting debate, to wether viruses are living things or not, because they do have many characteristics of living things, but not all of them.

If I were to say viruses where living organisms, it would definitely be because they are capable of reproducing in their hosts (D) because the other ones don't define if someting is living or not.

Answer:

Shield volcanoes.

Explanation:

Hawaiian volcanoes are the types of vulcanos known as shield vulcanos. Their shape is slightly dome, it is like an inverted shield. They are located in a big area and they don’t have explosive eruptions. This type of vulcanos is created when magma enters the fracture of the stone. One of the most famous volcanos of this type is Mauna Loa in Hawaii.

Which of the following statements is true about biomes? Geographic location is not one of the three main ways biomes are classified. Geographic location has nothing to do with classification of biomes. Geographic location is random; there can be many biomes in one region of the world.
Geographic location is generally quite important as it affects the climate and what types of organisms live in a biome.

Answers

The study of soil and its layer is called pedology. There are different types of soil and these are acidic and basic soil.

The correct answer is option D that is Geographic location is generally quite important as it affects the climate and what types of organisms live in a biome

What is the geographic location?

Location or place are used to denote a region on Earth's surface or elsewhere.

According to the question, the different location has different habitat and climatic condition, and the temperature which causes the different nature in each geographic location.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Compare all the organisms. What trend do you see? The proportions of DNA bases vary greatly among organisms. The proportions of DNA bases are similar in closely related organisms, but different in organisms that are not closely related. The proportions of DNA bases are similar among all organisms.

Answers

Answer:

Option 3. The proportions of DNA bases are similar among all organisms.

Explanation:

  • The DNA is composed of two nitrogen bases called the nucleotide and four nucleobases joined by hydrogen bonds namely:
  1. Adenine (A) 2. Guanine(G) 3. Cytosine (C) 4. Thymine (T)
  • The proportion and the number of the bases and base pairing are the same in all organisms but what makes an organism different is the order in which they're arranged.
  • The DNA coding depends on the order of gene expression determined by a specific arrangement of DNA molecules in each organism.
  • Out of the 3 billion bases found in humans 99% of the bases are similar in all.
