Are viruses responsible for influenza?
Yes, viruses are responsible for influenza. That's why antibiotics don't help when you have the flu.
What is viral specificity?
Viruses are highly specific and can only attack particular cells of a particular organism. Ex. Polio virus attacks nerve cells Mumps virus attacks salivary glands Hepatitis virus attacks liver cells
Which of the three main steps of pcr is responsible for the specificity in the small piece of DNA that gets amplified by replication?
The annealing step is responsible for specificity in PCR. During this step, the primers bind specifically to the target DNA sequence, allowing for amplification of the desired fragment.
What does virus specificity mean?
Virus specificity refers to the ability of a virus to infect specific host cells or organisms due to interactions between viral and host cell surface molecules. Each virus has a specific range of hosts that it can infect based on these molecular interactions, which determine its infectivity and pathogenicity. This specificity is what underlies the diverse range of diseases caused by different viruses.
What has the author M F Day written?
M. F. Day has written: 'A review of problems of specificity in arthropod vectors of plant and animal viruses' -- subject(s): Transmission, Virus-vector relationships, Insects as carriers of disease, Viruses, Communicable diseases
What are the different types of enzyme specificity with examples?
Enzymes exhibit different types of specificity, including substrate specificity (acting on a specific substrate), stereospecificity (acting on a specific stereoisomer), and regiospecificity (acting at a specific region of a substrate). For example, trypsin exhibits substrate specificity by cleaving peptide bonds after lysine or arginine residues, while lactase exhibits substrate specificity by hydrolyzing lactose.
Which features classify viruses?
Viruses are classified based on features such as their genetic material (DNA or RNA), structure (envelope or non-enveloped), size, host specificity, and mode of transmission. Additionally, classification can also be based on the diseases they cause, their replication strategies, and other molecular characteristics.

Host specificity of a virus is due to?
Host specificity of a virus can be attributed to a few different factors. One of these factors is a viral species ability to "hijack" a cells internal machinery and cause it to reproduce the genetic makeup and proteins which make it up. Many viruses then exit the cell (usually through destroying it) and may take a part of the cell's membrane with them as a sort of phospholipid coat. This membrane has all of the identifying proteins which enable our cells to recognize one another and serves viruses in the same manner.
