in your own word: Describe how the lysogenic life cycle of temperate bacteriophages differs from the lytic life cycle. State why viruses can't replicate on environmental surfaces. Explain one difference between animal DNA and RNA viral replication. What type of virus is Covid 19? At what point in the HIV cycle, is a person "infected" which HIV? Research one HiV drug and fully explain how it works on the HIV reproductive cycle. (Hint: Mention at what point it impacts the…

I would be amiss if I did not have a discussion post about one of the most historic communities in Orlando, if not all of Florida. That would be the Parramore. If you do not know about Parramore, it was developed in 1880 to "house the blacks employed by the white Orlandoans". The street, Division, name was chosen to denote the "divide" between the African-American community residing in Paramore and the White neighborhoods of central downtown (it blew my mind…

In many species, not just humans, melanin concentration is highest at the equator, and is reduced in the population as one moves further away in latitude. What is the relationship between melanin concentration and vitamin D production? What mechanisms explain the loss of melanin as one moves closer to the poles? One notable exception in this trend is Australia. However, there is a hole in the ozone layer that sometimes fluctuates over the continent. How might this explain the prevalence…

What is Cholesterol? To which class of biological molecules does cholesterol belong? What is the difference between HDL and LDL? What are the medical concerns as well as benefits of high and low levels of LDL and HDL? (Minimum length of paper 500 words.) Papers need to be referenced and follow APA

Chose a processed product (e.g., computer, Styrofoam product, plastic product, diapers, or vehicle tires) and create a 15-slide PowerPoint to answer the following questions: History: what is the product, where has it been used, who used it first? How is it made?: include items needed for production and steps in the process What impact does making the product have on the environment? Hint look at: pollution of air, water, habitat loss… What is being done to making the product sustainable?…

Biomes and Invasive Species Consider the variety of biomes that are found as dominant community types. Using information from the assigned pages in the textbook, maps and your own observations of the natural communities around you, determine what major biome or biomes dominate the area where you live. What do the local biomes tell you about the climate of your area? How do the local biomes limit the kinds of living things that you may see regularly in your area?…

A lab report should include the following: Title: should be concise and state clearly what will be investigated e.g. ‘The effect of alcohol consumption on sleep quality in students’ Introduction: should be about 10% of the word count and include reference to previous related findings (include several references). This section should provide a background to the topic and should provide a rational for the investigation e.g. you could mention the importance/ incidence of clinical conditions relating to the investigation or…

using the focal species, you chose 1a. Identify your species: Eastern gray squirrel S. carolinensis 1b. Identify another species that is relatively closely related to your species (for instance, in the same genus or family): American red squirrel T. hudsonicus 1c. Identify a third species that is less closely related to your species, but still in the same Class: House mouse- Mus musculus 2. Consider the speciation event via which your species split from species b (the more closely related…
