Question
Chapter 12, Problem 43RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The virus does not contain ribosomes. The mechanism through which it manages to ensure the synthesis of proteins is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Viruses are the infectious agents that infect the living cell of the organism. They infect the cells, utilize its machinery, and replicate inside the living cell of an organism.
They have the capability to infect any type of organism, from plants to animals, and microorganisms like bacteria and archaebacteria. They are nonliving entities outside the living body and become active inside the living cell. Thus, they are the link between the living entities and the nonliving entities.
