Question
Chapter 45, Problem 4DAA
Summary Introduction
To conclude: Whether the study differs at the end of the time period.
Introduction: Biological control agents are the natural enemies like predation, parasitism, and other methods that are used to control the pests like weeds, insects, mites, nematodes, and so on in order to generate a pest-free- yields. The biological control agent such as Thelohania solenopsae is a natural enemy of the red imported fire ants. This microsporidian can decline the ant’s colony by infecting and shrinking the ovaries of the queen which are the female reproducing ants.

Question 1
Why have the majority of viruses evolved to bind to a host surface receptor that serves an essential function in the host cell?
This is completely accidental.
These host receptors are poorly protected by the adaptive immune system, making them an easy target for the virus.
O Because proteins that perform essential functions are located only on the surface of the host cell.
O Host surface receptors that are essential for the host will always be expressed and present on the host.
Question 10
What is the cause of Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?
O Avirus causes VCJD.
O A eukaryotic pathogen causes VCJD.
O A viroid cause VCJD.
O A Prion causes VCJD.
Question 1 of 10
Question 1. If you were to engineer some non-
adhesive cells to express E-cadherin at either high
levels or low levels and then mixed the E-cadherin
high cells with the E-cadherin low cells, what do
you predict will happen?

- The early steps of rabiesvirus (CVS) infection in vitro were studied in chicken embryo cells (CER) cells. The infection was monitored by looking for specific viral inclusions using anti- rabies fluorescein isothiocynanate at 24 hours after addition of virus. Cells were incubated for various lengths of time after virus attachment with ammonium chloride and chloroquine. The results are show in Figure 2. 100 75 s0 I 3 5 7 Time (h) 24 (m) 20 mM NH,CI (0) 0.1 mM chloroquine Figure 2 What is the effect of treatment of CER cells with chloroquine? Explain.

- I have a pet amoeba. It's name is Stretch. I look at stretch every day with my microscope, feed it, play with it, etc., like any good pet owner would. But one day, I notice that Stretch is really stretching out! And a few minutes later, Stretch has turned into two. Amoebas reproduce through mitosis, where they replicate all of their internal biology, then split themselves into two, each new cell carrying everything it needs to survive. Which one is Stretch? Both? How can that be, since things are only identical to themselves? We wouldn't call identical twins the same person, even though they are very similar to one another. Are neither Stretch? One but not the other? How would we determine that? Explain whatever it is that you think is true, and back it up with some reasoning. Be sure your response is at least 300 words.
