Think about the cells that viruses infect. Pick out the correct statements below. A. The host cell has some particular thing - be it machinery, chemistry or whatever - that the virus MUST have in order to successfully reproduce. B. Viruse generally don't care what cells they infect. C. Viruses can only replicate in particular hosts and tissues. D. The host range or tissue specficity means the specific type of cells the virus infects. Example - rabies infects neural cells.
1. A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. Itstimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them. If you are given a mission of creating a vaccine, for what viral disease will it be? Why? 2. SARS-CoV 2 is the virus responsible for Covid-19. With the current situation in the Philippines, the number of positive Covid-19 cases are slowly declining but it’s not over yet. What do you think are the factors that contributed to the easy spread of this virus? 3. What can you do, as a student, in preventing the spread of Covid-19?
1)How can viruses be beneficial? 2. Name two important features of retroviruses and give an example of one. 3. Why do you think that nomadic societies are less likely to support extremely virulent viruses? 4. What was the role of filtration in the discovery of viruses? 5. Imagine a new respiratory virus that spreads via contact, droplet, and airborne transmission and we have no medical measures to stop the infection. Outline public health measures (non-medical interventions that can reduce the spread of a disease) that can be taken to slow down the spread of this virus.
1) What's not a side effect of gene therapy using viral vectors based on these options? - cancer - targets multiple cell types - infalmmatory immune resonse - viral infection - all the above are potential side effects

When a virus enters the lysogenic stage: a. the viral DNA is replicated outside the host cell. b. it enters the host cell and kills it immediately. c. it enters the host cell, picks up host DNA, and leaves the cellunharmed. d. it sits on the host cell plasma membrane with which it coversitself and then leaves the cell. e. the viral DNA integrates into the host genome.
