Nucleus


The function of the nucleus is to maintain the integrity of these genes and to control the activity's of the cell by regulating gene expression the nucleus is therefore the control center of the cell.

Mitochondria
The main job of the mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration. This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy. This energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out various functions.

Smooth ER
It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. Cells which secrete these products, such as those in the testes, ovaries, and sebaceous glands have an abundance of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Rough ER
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a membrane system of folded sacs and interconnected channels that serves as a site for protein and lipid synthesis.

Golgi Bodies
It is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes. The sacs or folds of the Golgi apparatus are called cisternae.

Ribosomes
Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Ribosomes
Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Vacuoles
Central vacuoles are large containers. In this sense, they can be used to contain cellular waste and to isolate materials that may be harmful to the cell.

Relationship Between Genes and Chromosomes This tight packing is important in making sure these long strings of DNA can fit inside the cell's nucleus. We can use the analogy of a city to better understand the relationship between DNA molecules, genes and chromosomes.

Lysosomes
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes.

Mitosis I
Interphase:
The DNA in the cell is copied resulting in two identical full sets of chromosomes.

Prophase:
The copied chromosomes made dense into X-shaped structures that can be easily seen under a microscope.

Metaphase

Anaphase
The pair of chromosomes are pulled apart.

Telophase I and Cytokineses:
The chromosomes complete their move to the opposite poles of the cell.

Role Of DNA
The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information.

Yellow Fever
How the yellow fever gets in your body is a Mosquito bites someone. Where it mostly happens is in Africa and other tropical places.

That is what the yellow fever virus looks like.

Yellow Fever Location
There are an estimated 200 000 cases of Yellow Fever, causing 30 000 deaths, worldwide each year, with 90% occurring in Africa. The Yellow Fever virus is usually found in subtropical as well as tropical areas in South America and Africa.

Yellow Fever Like Death Star
The Yellow Fever virus or most other viruses are like the Death Star because they destroy/ kill planets/or a host. Your body has X-wing fighters to go and destroy the virus. The Death Star follows the lytic cycle. The lytic cycle is the process in which a virus overtakes and destroys a cell or the Death Star destroys a planet. The Death Star and the lytic cycle both have different ways to destroy the cell/ planet and reproduce or keep moving. For the lytic cycle it creates copies of the virus filling the cell to bursting, killing the cell and. releasing viruses to infect more cells. The Death Star creates a beam that destroys a planet, but in the end both the host and planet are affected. If not stopped they both could cause a lot of damage.

Yellow Fever Vaccines
Yellow Fever vaccine is a live, weakened virus. It is given as a single shot. For people who remain at risk, a booster dose is recommended every 10 years. Yellow Fever vaccine may be given at the same time as most other vaccines. People 9 months through 59 years of age traveling to or living in an area where risk of Yellow Fever are known to exist, or traveling to a country with an entry requirement for the vaccination. A single dose correctly administered confers immunity in 95 to 100% of recipients within approximately 10 days of administration, with immunity persisting for at least ten years and possibly for life.

How it Spreads
Yellow Fever is an RNA virus is transmitted by mosquitoes. The mosquitoes pick it up from infected primates. The most common type of mosquitoes to transmit the virus are the Aedes and Haemato species. The mosquito is an asymptomatic carrier, therefore meaning they may carry the disease, but it does not affect them. When the mosquitoes bite the infected animal or human with the virus in its blood of the human/animal, the virus enters the stomach of the mosquitoes. So when the mosquitoes bites another human/animal it empties its stomach into the bloodstream of the victim it puts a little bit of the virus into the victim's bloodstream.
