imagine that a pharmaceutical company was successful at producing a drug based on the ccr5 gene product that is effective at preventing the contraction of aids. however, shortly after the drug has been in use, patients and doctors report that the drug is not as effective as it once was. what is the most likely explanation for this result?
Answers
After the drug has been in use, patients and doctors report that the drug is not as effective as it once was, the most likely explanation for this result is (D) Some HIV viruses have genetic variations in the RNA genome that provide resistance to the actions of the drug.
It is not always the case that a person who has been exposed to the HIV virus will eventually get AIDS. Some individuals have a natural defense against HIV infection due to their genetic makeup. Dr. Stephen O'Brien, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute in the United States, has just discovered a variant of the gene known as CCR5 gene known as a mutant that can defend against HIV infection. It's likely that the mutation first appeared in Europe, where it then spread via populations of people who had survived the bubonic plague. Plague germs are unable to enter and infect body cells because a defective gene stops them from connecting to the cellular membranes and, as a result, from entering the body. So the correct option is (D).
The complete question is attached.

A. The kingdom became too large and had to be made into two smaller kingdoms.
B. New biochemical data showed different evolutionary relationships within the kingdom
C. The archeabacteria and eubacteria habitats were too different to be classified in the same kingdom.
D. Chromosomal analyses indicated a new genetic combination had arisen within a certain organisms in the kingdom.
Answers
Answer:
I think the option C is correct
The statement best describes the classification of these organisms was changed is the archeabacteria and eubacteria habitats were too different to be classified in the same kingdom.
What are the characteristics of Archaebacteria?Archaea is a domain of single-celled organisms. These microorganisms lack cell nuclei and are therefore prokaryotes. Archaea were initially classified as bacteria, receiving the name archaebacteria.
Archaeal cells have unique properties separating them from the other two domains, Bacteria and Eukaryota. Archaea are further divided into multiple recognized phyla. Classification is difficult because most have not been isolated in a laboratory and have been detected only by their gene sequences.
The common characteristics of Archaebacteria known to date are these: (1) the presence of characteristic tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs; (2) the absence of peptidoglycan cell walls, with in many cases, replacement by a largely proteinaceous coat.

In a eukaryotic cell, which of the following processes directly involves DNA?
Answers
The provided question lacks the options, however, the options associated with the question is as follows;
A. translation
B. cellular respiration
C. active transport of ions
D. replication of chromosomes
Answer:
The correct answer is - D. replication of chromosomes.
Explanation:
During every cell division, either meiosis or mitotic the chromosomal DNA present in the nucleus is needed to be duplicated and the process that involves the duplication of this chromosomal DNA is known as replication of chromosome which takes place during the interphase of the cell division.
All other processes mentioned in the options are not involved or directly not involved in the processes. Translation involves the mRNA in the cytoplasm to produce amino acids with the help of ribosomes. Cellular respiration involves mitochondria and does not require DNA in the process.

During translation, tRNA adds the correct amino acid to the growing protein, following the mRNA codon sequence. Tryptophan, Lysine, Leucine, Tyrosine.
What is translation?Translation is the stage in protein synthesis that follows transcription, and occurs in the cytoplasm.
When mRNA leaves the nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm, it meets a free ribosome that is the primary structure for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are composed of two subunits of rRNA associated with different tRNA that carries amino acids.
The ribosome reads mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction, and, according to the codons that are being readen in mRNA, tRNA transfers the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide chain.
Let us remember that the codon is the sequence of three nucleotides present in mRNA. The molecule carriesa a start codon and stop codons.
Each tRNA has two important sites. One of them is the antidocon that couples with the codon of the mRNA molecule. The other site couples with the coded amino acid.
The protein is synthesized from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus.
In the example,
DNA mRNA tRNA Amino Acid
ACC UGG ACC Tryptophan
TTC AAG UUC Lysine
GAT CUA GAU Leucine
ATA UAU AUA Tyrosine

Provide an example of how your body could maintain homeostasis in response to detecting that the body temperature was falling below 98.5 degrees.
Answers
Answer:
Our body produces heat energy.
Explanation:
When our body temperature decreases than normal range, our body produces heat to maintain internal heat in the normal range. Our internal body temperature is regulated by hypothalamus which is a part of our brain. The hypothalamus regulate the temperature and take actions to maintain it in the normal range of temperature which is about 37°C. If our body temperature is too low, the hypothalamus order to the body to generates heat energy and maintains heat in the normal range. The sweat glands remain inactive in order to prevent heat losses.
