Q

Why is the HIV virus only transmitted through certain fluids?

A

HIV virus is concentrated in an infected person’s fluids like genital, blood, and breast milk

18
Q

HIV - INVASION TO HOST CELL

5 steps

A
  1. HIV attaches to the cell
    surface

  • as new ____ types ___, new ____ that could ____ that cell _____ as well
  • states that viruses came from ____ ____: a.) pool of _____ -> ______ -> _______ -> ______
A

CO-EVOLUTION
- self-replicate evolved
- cells

  • cell
  • evolved
  • viruses
  • target
  • evolved
  • complex polymers: nucleotides -> polynucleotides -> self-replicating RNA -> biomolecules
