Some viruses target bacteria or fungi, which can be harmful to humans. These viruses are called "bacteriophages" or sometimes just "phages".
Some disease-causing viruses have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses include the influenza virus, HIV, and the common cold virus.
Yes. DNA is the fundamental blueprint for all life on Earth.That depends on your definition of Life.Are viruses alive? Some say yes and some say no. Some viruses have DNA, and some only have RNA. So if you consider viruses a form of life, then some do not have DNA. RNA virus examples are SARS and Hepatitis. If you don't consider viruses alive, then yes, all forms of life (that we know of) higher than a virus contains some form of DNA. You can find out more at the link below.
Protists can be both helpful and harmful. Some protists are beneficial as they play key roles in ecosystems, such as being primary producers in marine environments. However, some protists can also be harmful pathogens that cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
No. I don't think so.
Influenza A and influenza B viruses are both types of the flu, but they have some key differences. Influenza A viruses can infect both humans and animals, while influenza B viruses mainly infect humans. Influenza A viruses are more likely to cause pandemics and have more subtypes, while influenza B viruses have fewer subtypes and typically cause milder illness.
There are no real "Helpful Viruses". Viruses are viruses. They make things go wrong with your computer.
- some viruses can be used in biological weapons- some viruses are used in the fight against pests
no virus is helpful, they damage your software
no virus is helpful, they damage your software
no virus is helpful, they damage your software
they can kill you
Viruses might be helpful because they clean you out all bad germs and bacteria releases.
viruses can be helpful because, some viruses can be used for cures. for example, USA. researcher suggest that adeno-associated viruses type 2 can Promises to be a breakthrough in cancer therapy
That is certainly not true. There are for example viruses that routinely wipe out almost the entire tentworm population. There are others that attack bacteria. Some viruses attack cancers!
they can be made into vaccines against themselves. Additionally, virsuses that attack bacteria, called bacteriophages, may someday be used to treat bacteria infections. There has also be research into using viruses to kill harmful insects.
yes it does
Some viruses target harmful organisms. For example, bacteriophage viruses kill bacteria. Other viruses might kill mosquitoes or weevils or other harmful insects without hurting any other species.
