Viruses attach specific cells and inject genetic material. There are viruses called bacteriophages that infect bacteria be injecting their genetic material into the bacterial host and invading their protein machinery.
With animal viruses that infect animal cells (much larger than bacteria), the virus either injects genetic material OR gets into the cell whole before it begins to unleash its pathogenic effects

What are the steps in identifying the pathogen that causes a specific disease?
To identify the pathogen causing a specific disease, the steps typically involve collecting samples from the affected individual, isolating the pathogen in the laboratory, analyzing its characteristics through techniques like microscopy or genetic testing, and comparing the results to known pathogens in databases to make a definitive identification. Additional tests may also be performed to confirm the findings and determine the best course of treatment.
What substance activates an immune system against a specific pathogen without causing any illnesses?
Vaccines are substances that activate the immune system against specific pathogens without causing illness. They typically contain weakened or inactivated parts of the pathogen, such as proteins or sugars, or genetic material that instructs cells to produce a harmless piece of the pathogen. This exposure trains the immune system to recognize and respond more effectively if the body encounters the actual pathogen in the future.
What must a vaccination contain to make it effective in producing immunity?
A vaccination must contain either a weakened or inactivated form of the disease-causing pathogen, or specific pieces of the pathogen such as proteins or genetic material. This prompts the body's immune system to recognize and remember the pathogen, allowing it to quickly mount a response if the person is exposed to the actual pathogen in the future.
What are the sources of genetic variation in plants and each of the major pathogen groups?
mutation
Is psoriasis caused by a pathogen?
No psoriasis is not caused by a virus or bacteria. It is a genetic disease.
Any evidence that Huntington's Disease is caused by the Lyme's pathogen?
HD is not caused by any pathogen- it is a genetic disease- you inherit a gene from a parent that also had HD.
How do you obtain genetic materials?
you obtain genetic materials from your parents organisms.
What are the pathogen that causes breast cancer?
There is no pathogen it is more on undifferentiated or cancerous cells.
What does positive genome DNA mean?
Positive genome DNA typically refers to the presence of specific genetic material that indicates the presence of a particular organism, pathogen, or genetic trait in a test sample. For example, in the context of infectious diseases, a positive DNA result may indicate an active infection by confirming the presence of the pathogen's genetic material. In genetic testing, it can also signify the presence of certain genes associated with hereditary conditions or traits. Overall, a positive result indicates that the targeted DNA sequence has been successfully detected.
What kind of pathogen causes Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a genetic mutation in the CFTR gene. This mutation leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs. It is not caused by a specific pathogen, but individuals with Cystic Fibrosis are more susceptible to respiratory infections.
What is genetic a factor?
two genetic materials
Why do you have migraine?
You have Migraine attacks because you have the genetic capability for them.
