How did Rosalind Franklin's research lead to James Watson's and Francis Crick's discovery in 1953?

Her photographs of DNA helped them describe DNA's shape.


Steps which a active virus copies itself and destroys a cell?

The virus attaches to a specific host cell. Then the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Then the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Then new viruses form inside of the host cell. Then the new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. there are so many then in my witing


What type of viral infection can lead to altered host cell genetics?

DNA viruses usually enter the nucleus and alter the DNA in order to produce new viral particles so I guess the answer is any DNA virus.


Is inflammation deadly?

It depends on what part of the body is inflamed. Inflammation of the skin - extremely unlikely to cause death. Inflammation of the brain - may lead to death. And death is not necessarily due directly to the inflammation but the infection by bacteria or virus which caused the inflammation process.


How has the discovery of cells changed the world?

The discovery of cells has allowed various new medical possibilities, and has provided the field of many discoveries. Cells contain various substances which explain evolutionary questions linking humans to other organism, as well as solutions to genetic diseases, viruses, and cancers. When we dive in depth into the cell, we find cells contain various interesting objects which can aid in understanding the human body far better, for example: The nucleus contains all the genetic material in a cell which determines the proteins produced, and the function and structure of the cell. The nucleus has lead to the discovery and understanding of the DNA which contains the coding for the organism, through which we have developed genetic engineering to artificially produce temporary cures for diseases such as diabetes, and cystic fibrosis. The discovery of cells has been one of the most important insights into the functioning of the human body and has shown insight into the clockworks behind our various processes.
