23
Q

What are 2 groups of parasitic worms

A

24
Q

Virus characteristics

A

Very small, have only protein coat (capsid ) and nucleus acid (genome). Some have outer membrane called envelop. They are not cells and are neither prokaryotes or eukaryotes

25
Q

Stages of viral replication

A
Attachment to host
Penetration
Uncoating
Synthesis
Maturation
26
Q

Virus enters host cell how?

A

By endocytosis or fusion of the envelope

27
Q

Uncoating of virus means?

A

Genome is released from inside the capsid

28
Q

Two atypical viruses

Viroids and prions

29
Q

Viroids are made up of?

A

Small pieces of rna with no protein

30
Q

Why does influenza virus infect repeatedly?

A

It changes its surface proteins often so avoids immune response

31
Q

Epidemiology is the study of?

A

Disease transmission
