Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Genetic material is the hereditary unit found in the cells of every living organism. Viruses are nonliving things that also have genetic material. Thus, option C is correct.

What are viruses?

Viruses are organisms that are living and nonliving as they reproduce when once inside the host cell and have the RNA or the DNA as the genetic material inside their capsids.

The protein shell of the virus includes one of the types of genetic material that infects the host DNA by taking control of the host machine to produce multiple copies.

Therefore, the virus is a non-living with genetic material.

aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria


anaerobic, autotrophic bacteria


anaerobic, heterotrophic bacteria

Answers

Answer:

Early organisms would have to be anaerobic, as air was likely non existent. This rules out the first two options.

Autotrophic can be called producers, and heterotrophic can be called consumers.

Which of the following is an unsegmented animal with a free-swimming larval stage? A. flatworm. B. annelid. C. mollusk. D. echinoderm

Answers

The answer is C. mollusk.

Among the all choices, echinoderm and annelid are segmented animals. So, it leaves flatworm and mollusk as possible answer. However, flatworms have no a free-swimming larval stage. Mollusk is an 
unsegmented animal with a free-swimming larval stage we were looking for. After eggs production, from them trochophore larvae can emerge. This trochophore larvae is planctonic which means it is a free-swimming.

What results when the combined effect of two different drugs taken together exceeds the sum of the individual drugs administered alone?

Answers

Options:

A) Hyperadditive

B) Antagonistic

C) Cross-tolerance

D) Cross-dependence

Answer:

A) Hyperadditive

Explanation:

Hyperadditive is what results when two drugs  are added together to produce an amplified effect greater than the effect of the sum the individual drugs administered independently. The effect of this drug interaction is triple. I.e. 1 + 1= 6 Synergistic drug interaction results in hyperadditive. Examples of such drug interaction that results in hyperadditive are heart medication plus licorice, ulcer medication plus Coumadin, ibuprofen plus Coumadin.
