. EVOLUTION CONNECTION The success of some viruses lies intheir ability to evolve rapidly within the host. Such viruses evadethe host’s defenses by mutating and producing many alteredprogeny viruses before the body can mount an attack. Thus, theviruses present late in infection differ from those that initiallyinfected the body. Discuss this as an example of evolution inmicrocosm. Which viral lineages tend to predominate?
Clear select Which of the following statements concerning viruses and human health is 1 false? O in many diseases caused by viruses, the virus attacks cells as it reproduces O many viral diseases can be controlled through vaccinations O some viruses can remain dormant in the body for years before disease symptoms appear O most viral infections are difficult to treat, but they can be finally destroyed by antibiotics

Figure 17.6 Influenza virus is packaged in a viral envelope, which fuses with the plasma membrane. This way, the virus can exit the host cell without killing it. What advantage does the virus gain by keeping the host cell alive?
A viral envelope: is coded for in a viral genome is found within the capsid is not a true plasma membrane is part of some bacteriophages
The cell is the basic unit of all living things, and viruses which are generally not considered living but have the ability to infect cells. Describe how the structure of a virus compares to the structure of a cell. You should explain (not list) at least two similarities and two differences between features of cells and viruses including a brief explanation of the function of those structures. Explain why viruses need cells.
A person is infected with HIV. The individual is treated with several drugs, including azidothymidine (AZT). Which of the following is the most immediate effect of this drug? O It inhibits formation of the capsid. O It does not allow the viral genome to become integrated into the host genome. O It allows reverse transcriptase to proofread, and this will allow successful treatment with a vaccine. O It does not allow the virus to make a DNA copy of its genome.
