Good morning. free points.

Why is it often difficult to get funding for local parks? a. state governments do not like to grant permits for local parks. b. federal regulations prohibit most fund raising. c. there is often a small tax base. d. federal funding cuts have all but stopped local construction of parks.

Poliovirus is an rna virus of the picornavirus group, which uses its rna as mrna. at its 5' end, the rna genome has a viral protein (vpg) instead of a cap. this is followed by anontranslated leader sequence, and then a single long protein-coding region (~7000 nucleotides), followed by a poly-a tail. observations were made that used radioactive amino acid analogues. short period use of the radioactive amino acids result in labeling of only very long proteins, while longer periods of labeling result in several different short polypeptides. what conclusion is most consistent with the results of the radioactive labeling experiment? a) host cell ribosomes only translate the viral code into short polypeptides.b) the rna is only translated into a single long polypeptide, which is then cleaved into shorter ones.c) the rna is translated into short polypeptides, which are subsequently assembled into large ones.d) the large radioactive polypeptides are coded by the host, whereas the short ones are coded for by the virus.

Why do rna viruses appear to have higher rates of mutation? a) rna nucleotides are more unstable than dna nucleotides.b) replication of their genomes does not involve proofreading.c) rna viruses can incorporate a variety of nonstandard bases.d) rna viruses are more sensitive to mutagens.
