Are all vertebrates mammels?
All mammals are vertebrates. The two main sections of the animal kingdom are invertebrates and vertebrates- and mammals fall into the vertebrates section!!
What two ways that viruses do not act like living things?
They don't have their own metabolism and they can't reproduce on their own, two reasons for which they are obligatory parasites. They have to infect other cells with metabolisms to reproduce.
All animals can be placed in one of two groups what are the two groups?
Vertebrates and invertebrates.
What two things are present in all vertebrates?
Brain and a Spinal cord.
How do viruses multiply and what diseases you can can get from them?
There are currently 20 families of viruses that infect humans. There are two additional viruses (Hepatitis D and Hepatitis E) which have not yet been assigned to a families but are clearly distinct from the other families infecting humans. Viruses replicate inside cells by hijacking strands of RNA to duplicate themselves. See the related link for more details on viral diseases.
How is hantavirus infection caused?
Hantavirus infection is caused by a group of viruses that can infect humans with two serious illnesses: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).

What can viruses not infect?
Proteins,carbohydrates,nucleic acid and some have Lipids.Virus are also made up of those as other animals. Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment. Some naked viruses include poliomyelitis, warts, the common cold, chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, herpes simplex (cold sores), influenza, herpes viruses and HIV (AIDS). Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV). The envelope can be damaged by freezing temperatures, chlorine, and phenol. If damaged the virus cannot infect. Viruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are like cockle burrs that "grab" hold of your clothing or a dog's coat. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own. They are very small and can be considered ultramicroscopic. We were not able to see them with the best light microscopes as we could bacteria (prokaryotes). We have to use an electron microscope to see them as they are that small. This was not available until recently.
What is the you are an idiot virus?
"You are an idiot Virus" is actually a virus -- infact two viruses which infect anyone's computer once he/she visits www.youareanidiot.org. These two viruses are more specifically known as: Trojan.Js.Offiz.C & JS.Trojan.Spawn.A. These Viruses automatically enter the Temporary Internet files folder as soon as you direct your browser to this link, so be careful about it.~ PeaceAnti-Virus LordEDIT:youareanidiot.org is not a virus. It's a javascript exploit that kills the keys "ctrl, alt, del, and f4."-Devin Glover
How many nostrils does a tiger have?
Tigers have 2 nostrils (all land vertebrates only have two; no more and no less).
How are mammals like the birds but unlike the other vertebrates?
Bird and mammals are the only two groups of vertebrates which are warm blooded. Amphibians, reptiles and fish, the other vertebrate groups, are all cold-blooded.
What two type of vertebrates have heart with three chambers?
Reptiles and amphibians are the vertebrates that have three-chamber hearts.
