what is a vaccine?

A

inactive form of a virus injected to build up an antibody

38
Q

what is vaccine immunity called?

A

gained immunity

39
Q

what kind of virus is HIV and what does that mean it does?

A

it is a retrovirus, meaning it uses Reverse Transcriptase to produce DNA from its RNA

40
Q

what makes HIV so hard to fight?

A

kills cells that fight it off

constantly mutates

41
Q

what does HIV lead to?

A

AIDS; suppressed immune system

44
Q

what is a protist?

A

anything that does not fit in the other kingdoms
