How does a virus infect a host cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
3 0
A virus infects the cell by attaching fibers of its protein tail to a specific receptor on the bacterial cell wall and then injecting the nucleic acid into the host, leaving the empty capsid outside. In viruses with a membrane envelop, the viral envelop merges with the host cell membrane and is taken in to the host cell by a process called pinocytosis, then releases its nucleic acid inside the host cell to be intergraded with host cell genome.

What is true about organisms that are a part of the same clade?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer is B. They evolved from a shared ancestor

Explanation:

In biology, the word clay refers to a set of organisms that have a common ancestor and because of this, they are placed in the same ramification or branch in a phylogenic tree, which allows biologists to classify organisms in groups. For example, all birds are believed to have a common ancestor and therefore they formed a clade. However, belonging to the same clade does not imply the same exact classification, identical phylogenies or characteristics because these depend on each species and varies due to the evolution process. Therefore the statement that is true about organisms that are part of the same clad ie that they evolved from a shared ancestor.
