What is an organism that can provide a source of energy for a virus or another organism?

An organism that can provide a source of energy for a virus or another organism is called a host. The host organism can provide resources and nutrients necessary for the growth and reproduction of the virus or another organism that depends on it for survival.


What evidence did the sciencetists use to find and Identify the virus from 1918?

Scientists used preserved lung tissue samples from victims of the 1918 influenza pandemic to isolate and identify the virus responsible. They also compared genetic material from these samples to influenza viruses that circulated in animals at the time, helping to pinpoint the origin of the virus. Additionally, historical records and clinical symptoms helped researchers understand the impact and characteristics of the 1918 virus.


Where does a virus form?

A virus forms when its genetic material (RNA or DNA) replicates inside the host cell, using the host cell's machinery to create new virus particles. These new virus particles then exit the host cell to infect other cells and continue the infection cycle.


What is polymorphic virus?

A polymorphic virus is a type of malicious software that constantly changes its appearance in order to avoid detection by antivirus programs. It achieves this by encrypting its code with different algorithms each time it infects a new file or system. This makes it difficult for traditional signature-based antivirus software to identify and remove the virus.


How can the DNA sequencing technique shown in the virtual lab be used to identify other classes of pathogen's such as viruses?

The DNA sequencing technique can be used to identify viruses by isolating and extracting the viral DNA from a sample, sequencing it, and then comparing it to a database of known viral genomes. By matching the sequence obtained from the sample to known viral sequences, researchers can identify the specific virus present in the sample. This method is particularly useful for identifying novel or unknown viruses.

How you can identify virus?

If you wanted to identify if you have a virus then I suggest you download a virus anti scanning system. Such as AVG or Norton then after this it will give you details of where your virus is and then you can go and sort it out from there. AVG 8.0 is the latest to be released from them and probably one of the best online.

How does a family practitioner identify the H1N1 virus as it differs from other flu viruses?

The family practitioner doesnt actually identify the H1N1 virus. If a local test shows up as positive, they send those results to a more specialized hospital to determine if that result is of the flu or the H1N1 virus.
