F.N- Absence of Interspecific competition

R.N- In response to Interspecific Competition

Question 3

Answer 3

Competitive Exclusion- Local extinction (due to Niches being too similar)
Resource Partitioning- Coexistence

Answer 4

Reproductive Potential

Question 5

V- Can only replicate inside host cell

Question 11

3 Virus structure facts

Answer 11

Viruses contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA, packaged in a protective protein coat

Some viruses are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane derived from host cell materials

The outer surface of a virus contains antigens that a host cell may or may not be able to detect as foreign

Question 12

4 stages of Virus life cycle

Answer 12

infection of host cell with genetic material

host cell enzymes replicate viral genome

transcription of viral genes and translation of viral proteins

assembly and release of new viral particles (bursting)

Answer 13

R.V uses Reverse Transcriptase to create DNA

Question 14

Transmission vs Virulence

Answer 14

V- Harm caused to a host species by a parasite
