Plant viruses (a) typically cause rapid death of infected plants (b) are mainly retroviruses (c) can be killed with antibiotics (d) are transmitted throughout the plant body by insects (e) can be transmitted from one generation to the next through infected seeds
1. Based on the presented properties of life, why are viruses considered non-living?
2. How do plants and animals are alike and are different in terms of ensuring their survival and adaption?
1. Precise words:Find the nonspecific terms in the following sentences. Replace the nonspecific choices with more preciseterms or phrases (It is not necessary to change the sentence structure).(i) All OVE mutants showed enhanced iP concentrations.(ii) Plants were kept in the cold overnight.(iii) To provide proof of concept for our hypothesis, we studied a virus in its host cell.(iv) The present paper reports on continuing experiments that were performed to clarify thissurprising effect.(v) The first transition state is a little lower in energy than the second transition state.
2. Simple words:Improve the word choice in the following examples by replacing the underlined terms or phrases withsimpler word choices (do not change the sentence structure).(i) These data substantiate our hypothesis.(ii) The difference in our results compared to those of Reuter et al. (1995) can be accounted forby the fact that different conditions were used.(iii) For the purpose of discussing cell migration we…
