Interferons are synthesized in response to: Correct Answer virus

Interferons are proteins that increase the resistance of a cell to attack by viruses by unmasking genes that synthesize antiviral proteins. In humans, three groups of interferons are

 1. a - interferons from white blood cells;

 2. P - interferons from connective tissue fibroblasts;

 3. y - interferons from lymphocytes.

III. The movement of a plant part in response to a chemical stimulus is called Chemotropism. IV. The movement of a plant part in response to water is called Hydrotropism. Which of these is/are correct?
Consider the following statements with reference to the response of a control system: 1. A large resonant peak corresponds to a small overshoot in transient response. 2. A large bandwidth corresponds to slow response. 3. The cut-off rate indicates the ability of the system to distinguish the signal from noise 4. Resonant frequency is indicative of the speed of transient response. Which of the above statements are correct?
In MATLAB, the impulse response of the step response of a system is ___ to the step response of the impulse response of the system.
Assertion (A): All the systems which exhibit overshoot in transient response will also exhibit resonance peak in frequency response. Reason (R): Large resonance peak in frequency response corresponds to a large overshoot in transient response.
