Answer: Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. virus uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup.

Explanation:

  • A virus is a miniscule pocket of protein that contains genetic material.
  • Viruses pose a considerable challenge to the body’s immune system because they hide inside cells.
  • This makes it difficult for antibodies to reach them. Some special immune system cells, called T-lymphocytes, can recognise and kill cells containing viruses, since the surface of infected cells is changed when the virus begins to multiply.
  • Many viruses, when released from infected cells, will be effectively knocked out by antibodies that have been produced in response to infection or previous immunisation.
  • Antibiotics are useless against viral infections.  So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Hence virus are the pathogen that use the cell's metabolism. And replicate itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup. viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them

brainly why is it said that the sun provide either direct or indirect energy to all living things on earth
n200080 [17]
The provide direct energy because they help it grow plants and when plants grow it helps us live. 
But it also provides indirect energy because the sun can cause droughts which is bad because with droughts we dont have enough water to water the plants and with that they dry out and die.

The physical process that makes gene linkage incomplete is
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Option E, Crossing Over

Explanation:

In the process of crossing over, a chromosome is replicated to produce two sister chromatids.  

Sister chromatids have genes that are divided and shared with the offspring in equal number. In this way genetic traits are exchanged and the offspring has a new set of genes.  

This process takes place at the prophase stage of cell division.  

Without crossing over, gene linkage is incomplete.

Hence , option E is correct
