Question
Chapter 10.16, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
Infectious agents cause disease to the host organisms by altering the host physiology and genetic functioning. Infectious agents mediate the disease effect by its DNA, RNA and proteins. Viruses contains DNA, RNA as their genetic material to cause infections in the host. Bacteria use its DNA and protein system as infectious agents.
