Answer the following and inlcude the references
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes CoVid-19, belongs to the Coronaviridae family. Viruses under this family have a genome made of single-stranded positive-sense RNA. Is this similar to the viral genome of HIV? If so, do you think that – in theory – they would have similar replication cycles?
Do you think that ART combinations/options might help in suppressing the viral replication of SARS-CoV-2? Expound.
Please provide a general definition of a virus. Viruses can cause other issues, known as cytopathic effects. Provide 3 effects and discuss why that effect can be very damaging to the host.
Many viruses have the ability to resurrect dead cells. Why would investigating this feature of viruses be relevant
