What is antigenic drift?
The genome of viruses can mutate over time through a variety of mechanisms. Some viruses are more prone to these mutations than others. When the genome changes, this changes the proteins that are expressed by the virus, included the proteins that are present on the surface of the virus. These proteins are the antigens that are recognised by the host immune system and which trigger the immune response. Antigenic drift is when the genome of the virus mutates thus changing the antigens expressed by the virus. This means that an individual immunized against a virus may not be protected if the virus undergoes antigenic drift as the proteins present of the surface of the virus are not the same as the virus against which the individual was immunized.
What is a trans-species jump?
it is when a virus changes its natural host to a new host. ex. from an animal to a human.
Are the three parts and changes of an atom?
That Q doesnt make any sense.
What three main structures do all viruses have?
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.A virus can have one of three structures. These are:Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus.Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses.Polyhedral virus.
What is scan virus?
your anti virus scans for virus
Can a virus sense?
No.
Is rift valley fever a DNA virus?
No. It is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus.
Is there homeostasis in a virus?
No viruses do not have homeostasis. They have no cellular activities because they are not made of cells. Viruses do not respond or adapt to the environment. Any changes in the viruses are brought about by the host cells that make the new copies of the virus. When science says that viruses evolve, it is really the host cell that makes the changes in the virus. So the virus type accumulates these changes, but it doesn't make the changes itself.
Is virus an autotroph or hetrotroph?
Neither. A virus is not really alive in a traditional sense.
Where can you get a virus-free Mario 64 movie maker?
It dosen't have a virus, Your anti-virus thinks it is a virus because It changes your game.
As a virus replicates it changes its characteristics?
polymorphic
Why do doctors inject you with the flu virus to get rid of it?
its just like the anti live virus! its the virus but manipulated to attack its self, it that makes sense?
Why can't i access the options on my control panel?
This may be because you have a virus and the virus/trojan has restricted you from accessing this to solve the virus. Effectively, the virus will stop you from getting rid of the virus if that makes sense.
Is mumps a bacteria or virus?
mumps is a virus
Can bacteria sense changes?
A bacteria can sense changes this is because a bacteria is a living-thing and it has sense's and can change the shape and attain a different one from the originals as amoeba....
