- What is the difference between bacteria and viruses? Bacteria are non-living pieces of DNA or RNA; viruses are single-celled organisms Viruses are killed by antibiotics; bacteria are killed by probiotics Bacteria are harmful and are the cause of major human diseases; viruses are often helpful and can kill harmful bacteria Bacteria are single-celled organisms capable of survival and reproduction on their own; viruses cannot survive and replicate without a host cellarrow_forwardAs humanity advances, many improvements have been made with the medical field. We now have the ability to: • Help correct bad vision (Glasses, contact lenses, laser surgery). • Allow diabetics a second chance (insulin shots). • Increase the life of cancer patients. (Chemo) • Correct bad teeth (orthodontic braces) • And much more. What is to be noted is that these diseases are genetic and long ago were enough to kill people with them (A near-sighted person would not be able to see dangers in front of them.) These people would not live long enough to pass on their genes. BUT now, genetic diseases like vison problems and diabetes are being passed on because their victims remain alive because of our medical advances. QUESTION: Are we interfering with our own evolution as a species? • If yes, why should we let these diseased people stay alive? What can they contribute to our evolution? • If no, has our evolution focused on a different selection pressure?

- Your friend hasn't been feeling well, and you think that she should get tested because it could be a virus or even multiple viruses! Nancy is conducting a qPCR experiment to detect how much of virus A, B, and/or C your friend is infected with. All three viruses contain RNA as their genetic material. Nancy takes a saliva sample and is excited to begin. However, it's her very first time conducting qPCR so a few mishaps occurred during this experiment. Unfortunately... ● Nancy forgets to reverse transcribe the RNA of virus A, and • The cDNA of virus C contains a mutation where the probe is designed to bind, and • Nancy uses the same color fluorescent dye for viruses B and C Fortunately, all the probes consisted of a fluorescent and quenching dye. Which qPCR graph is most representative of Nancy's experiment after several cycles of qPCR? Explain why the answer you chose is correct. A. (₁ Fluorescence B B # of Cycles A A # of Cycles с B. D.
