Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A

It has viral DNA that remains dormant until environmental conditions are right.

HIV is a unique human RNA virus, capable of infecting cells of the immune system.  

Plz mark brainliest:)

Answer 2

It attacks and destroys certain cells in the bodies of its host organisms. Therefore, option (C) is correct.

What is HIV?

HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, attacks and destroys a specific type of immune cell called CD4+ T cells. These cells play a critical role in the immune system, and their destruction leads to a loss of immunity and the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV is unique in that it specifically targets and attacks these cells, leading to a gradual decline in the body's ability to fight off infections and diseases.

HIV is primarily spread through sexual contact, but can also be spread through sharing needles or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) if left untreated.

What can happen if a population of organisms disappears from the food chain in an ecosystem with low biodiversities, such as the tundra?

Answers

at would happen if a species disappeared from an ecosystem? The food web might be changed greatly if a species disappeared from an ecosystem. The organisms that fed on the species would have to find new sources of energy.

Answer: If the population of an organism dies out, then the animals on top of it on the food chain are going to die, since they will have no other food to rely on. Or, they will have to find a new source of energy if they do not.

This is why we should not try to kill any animals, even too much fishing can cause the same problem.

What is the first aid for cramps? ​

Answers

Answer:

Take a hot shower

Massage the cramped area

Yup thats all i know

We all know that any cramp in our muscles is formed due to the secretion of lactic acid . This lactic acid is formed due to our muscles doing anaerobic respiration instead of aerobic respiration . Our muscles require oxygen to break down glucose itn energy and carbon dioxide . But our body muscles wont get this much needed oxygen due to which they will start to do anaerobic respiration where they produce energy without the usage of oxygen . When such a respiration happens lactic acid is secreted in our stomach , which makes our muscles start to form cramps . So we can say that tightness or soreness of muscles due to our muscles lacking oxygen is called as muscle cramps . So , a hot bath will be a very good remedy for cramps as it will let the oxygen pass through the body , thereby completely help the lactic acid turn into energy . When lactic acid breaks down completely to form energy the muscle cramps go away . Another first aid for cramps would be massaging the area with cramps . This will also increase the oxygen flow thereby making the lactic acid change into oxygen due to which the pain will go away . Another remedy for muscle cramps would be hot nor cold pads as they help ease the pain .

Explanation:

In a balanced ecosystem with predators and prey, if the prey population decreases then....?

Answers

The predator population will decrease as well

Answer:

Predator population will also decrease

Explanation:

This is because the predators are dependent on their prey without the prey they would starve and die out so with less possible food the less of a population for what ever eats that prey which can lead to a chain reaction throughout the ecosystem however it is also the other way around too the more possible food the more chance for babies to be born and not starve to death.  

Why only certain cell undergo mitosis
and why other cells undergo meiosis

Answers

Explanation:

Mitosis allows for cells to produce identical copies of themselves, which means the genetic material is duplicated from parent to daughter cells. Mitosis produces two daughter cells from one parent cell. Single-celled eukaryotes, such as amoeba and yeast, use mitosis to reproduce asexuallyand increase their population. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. ... Meiosis begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome.

Define 3 of the major parts of the skeletal system and list the
function(s) of each (bones, ligaments, and tendon, cartilage.)

Answers

Answer:

Bone

The major functions of the bones are body support, facilitation of movement, protection of internal organs, storage of minerals and fat, and hematopoiesis. Together, the muscular system and skeletal system are known as the musculoskeletal system.

Ligament

Ligaments connect the ends of bones together in order to form a joint. They also assist in holding organs in place. Tendon: A tough, flexible and inelastic band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones.

Tendon

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

Cartilage

Cartilage: This smooth and flexible substance covers the tips of your bones where they meet. It enables bones to move without friction (rubbing against each other). When cartilage wears away, as in arthritis, it can be painful and cause movement problems.
