What is the name of the process in which bacteria receive and express recombinat viral DNA?

The process is called transduction, where viral DNA is transferred into a bacterial cell, integrated into the bacterial chromosome, and expressed by the bacterial cell.


Which of the following lists the steps of HIV replication in the correct order?

HIV binds with the CD4 protein on the surface of the T4 lymphocyte. The HIV fuses with the T4 lymphocyte. Viral RNA (ribonucleic acid) and reverse transcriptase enter the target cell. Reverse transcriptase produces viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from the viral RNA. Viral DNA enters the target cell's nucleus and splices into the target cell's DNA. The target cell uses the information on the viral DNA and produces the pieces needed for building copies of HIV. The pieces are assembled into new copies of HIV. This process uses an enzyme called protease. Copies of HIV are released from the target cell in a process called budding.


Which cell will respond whether you have viral infection or bacterial infection?

White blood cells are the immune cells that will respond to infections, including viral and bacterial infections. Different types of white blood cells play specific roles in detecting and fighting off infections by recognizing pathogens and coordinating the immune response.


What is the difference between viral and bacterial meningitis?

Viral meningitis is caused by a virus, while bacterial meningitis is caused by bacteria. Bacterial meningitis is usually more severe and can be life-threatening, requiring immediate medical attention. Viral meningitis is typically less severe and often resolves on its own with rest and supportive care.
