A virus mutates, and therefore it has which of the following traits of living things?(1 point)
It is made of cells.
It evolves.
It uses energy.
It grows and develops.
Compare a virus to a unicellular organism.(1 point)
Viruses need energy; unicellular organisms do not need energy.
Viruses reproduce through asexual reproduction; unicellular organisms need a host cell.
Neither unicellular organisms nor viruses respond to stimuli.
Unicellular organisms have a cell membrane made from a lipid bilayer; viruses have a protein coat.
Summarize the lytic cycle.(1 point)
The viral DNA incorporates itself with the host cell’s and replicates whenever the host cell replicates itself.
A virus lays eggs on the host cell’s protein coat, which then hatch and move on to infect other cells.
Differentiate between the lysogenic and lytic cycles.(1 point)
Viral proteins are synthesized during the lysogenic cycle.
The virus injects DNA into the host cell during the lysogenic cycle.
The host cell copies its own DNA during the lytic cycle.
The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.
A virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, copies itself, and then forms new viruses that burst out of the host cell.
A virus copies its genetic material and then splits its cell membranes in half to form identical viruses.
Infer why doctors recommend people, especially elderly and those with weak immune systems, get the flu vaccine every year.(1 point)
They should get the flu vaccine because their bodies already have a resistance.
They should get the flu vaccine because their bodies do not build up resistance.
They should get the flu vaccine because viruses mutate.
They should get the flu vaccine because viruses do not mutate.
Ok i just did the test, heres the answers
1. it evolves
2. unicellular organisms have a cell membrane made from a lipid bilayer; viruses have a protein coat.
3. a virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, copies itself, and then forms new viruses that burst out of the host cell.
4. the host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.
5. they should get the flu vaccine because viruses mutate.
your welcome.
Random is correct for Connexus!
Both of y’all is wrong
1. It evolves.
2. Unicellular organisms have a cell membrane made from a lipid bilayer; viruses have a protein coat.
3. A virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, copies itself, and then forms new viruses that burst out of the host cell.
4. The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.
5. They should get the flu vaccine because viruses mutate.
just did this 100% connexes 2021 as of oct
