Does heredity occur in viruses-?
Yes, heredity occurs in viruses through the transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next. Viruses have a simple genetic makeup, usually in the form of DNA or RNA, which allows them to replicate and pass on their genetic information. This genetic material can mutate over time, leading to changes in the virus's characteristics.
How viruses occurs?
viruses occur if a person does not take care of himself/herself and then becomes infected an then spreads it on to another person and so on.
Can mutations occur in jellyfish?
Mutations happen in ALL living things (and also in viruses)!!!!!!
What is viral replication?
Viral replication is the process of creating viruses. This can only occur once a virus has infected a cell - because viruses cannot replicate by themselves (they need to use a host cell).
How do viruses adapt?
Viruses can adapt through mutations in their genetic material, allowing them to evolve and develop new characteristics. This can occur during replication inside host cells or through recombination with other viruses. Adaptation enables viruses to overcome immune responses, change host range, or develop resistance to antiviral treatments.
Can antiviral drugs be used to kill viruses inside you?
No. The main reason is that viruses are not really alive, the way you and I think of it. Drugs like Interferon, which occur in the body's cells and as a manufactured drug, do not "kill" viruses, but rather block the virus's ability to grab hold of and infect your body's receptor cells.
Are viruses non cellular organisms?
Viruses are non-living just like a rock is. Since they are not cells, they can not be alive. However, they can "hijack" a living cell. They have either DNA or RNA which allows this hijacking to occur. By doing this, they can make the host cell make more viruses just like them. This causes the virus to spread.
Does a cytosol have bacteria?
Yes they do. Cytosol is the matrix within which all the cellular mechanisms occur. There is no organism as such that does not have the cytosol. Viruses obviously do not have a cytosol because they are not organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites which can multiply only within a particular host.
Why do the viruses evolve as if they were alive?
Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things. When a virus encounters a cell, a series of chemical reactions occur that lead to the production of new viruses. These steps are completely passive, that is, they are predefined by the nature of the molecules that comprise the virus particle. Viruses don't actually 'do' anything. Often scientists and non-scientists alike ascribe actions to viruses such as employing, displaying, destroying, evading, exploiting, and so on. These terms are incorrect because viruses are passive, completely at the mercy of their environment
How can your computer get viruses?
Viruses are quite easy to pick up when surfing the internet - some will get to you without you even knowing! Viruses can enter your PC when you download something, or when you accept an email from someone - essentially, when you knowingly accept a connection between your computer and another computer (especially if you don't trust the person/connection), there is a potential for a virus transfer to occur.
How do viruses occur?
u get virus' from the dumbest things one thing is from downloads, and another is copy and pasting files also playing games from sites like addicting games, mofunzone, and armor games...
What are the 3 types viruses?
Computer viruses, Macro Viruses, and Directory Viruses
