yes. this is because they can mutate, or they adapt. for example you normally only get chicken pox once, this is because your anti bodies learn how to fight the virus off, but if the virus changes it won't get recognized by the anti bodies and you get an adapted/mutated version of the chicken pox.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How are computer viruses similar to and different from biological viruses?
Both types:are spread by contact with a contaminated sourcecan be blocked with defensescan be modified and weaponisedcan go away after a time if certain measures are takencan kill whatever they infectcan change over timecan be costlyDifferences:computer viruses only work in a computer hostbiological viruses only work in a biological hostbiological viruses can spontaneously mutatecomputer viruses are createdbiological viruses are far more complex
What are three difference between viruses and bacteria?
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Would the invasion of a cell by viruses increase decrease or have no effect on the osmolarity of a cell?
The invasion of a cell by viruses increases the cell's osmolarity. This occurs because the viruses act like any other particle. As the number of viruses increases, the number of particles in the cells increases as well. This increased particle number gives the cells an increased osmolarity that could eventually lead to cellular lysis.
Which of the following classifications of viruses can change its own code to avoid detection?
A polymorphic virus is able to change its code to evade detection by antivirus software, making it difficult to analyze and detect.
What classification of viruses can change its own code?
Polymorphic
What does Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through?
Bacteria and viruses change the genotype of an organism through mutation. Mutations are heritable changes in DNA and RNA that changes the genes..
What genetic material in viruses?
The hereditary material of viruses vary. Some viruses have DNA and some RNA. Viruses with RNA change, for example the flu, that's why we get a shot every year. The viruses with DNA don't change so that's why you need only one shot.
What are difference between bacteria and viruses.?
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Why are scientist unable to tell how many different types of viruses there are?
because viruses change everyday a virus is made that we haven't found out about
What classifications of viruses can change its own code to avoid detection?
Polymorphic
Why are scientist unable to tell exactly how many different types of viruses there are?
because viruses change everyday a virus is made that we haven't found out about
How would one fix a virus that continues to change homepage?
Viruses and specifically viruses that can change your homepage settings can be fixed by installing and running an up to date antivirus platform such as 'AVG', 'Norton' or 'Avast'.
Can you catch a cold from a change in temperature?
No. You don't get colds from the temperature. You get colds from viruses.
Viruses that periodically change their code to avoid detection are called?
polymorphic virus
Can some RNA and DNA viruses change healthy cells into cancerous cells?
true
Why are antiviral drugs difficult to develop?
The Tobacco mosaic virus is shaped like a cylinder and attacks Tobacco plants.
