N 9 Viruses use the host's machinery to make copies of themselves. However, some human viruses require a type of replication tha

t humans do not normally do. For example, humans normally do not have the ability to convert RNA into DNA. How can these types of viruses infect humans, when human cells cannot perform a particular role that the virus requires?

Answer:

<u>This is because  the Viron  has in its genome a specialized code  for synthesising any missed enzyme for replication that is lacking in the host cell.</u>

<u>An example is the replication of the human  DNA cells by the Immunodeficiency virus(HIV) </u>. Human  cells only have  enzymes for  copying  DNA templates, and   lacks the enzyme to convert the HIV  RNA genome  to human DNA.However these viruses have  in its genome; code for synthesising its own  RNA polymerase enzymes that copies  or transcribed  the   human DNA to HIV RNA.

 <u>This  ability of the viral cell  to code  for the host's enzyme  has a therapeutic effect</u>. Drugs can be targeted at the  viral polymerase enzymes to reduce the replication and therefore toxicity in the host cells.

Summarize Isaac Newton's law of gravity
tankabanditka [31]
Newton's law of gravity defines the attractive force between all objects that possess mass. Understanding the law of gravity offers profound insights into the way our universe functions. Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. <span>Newton knew that the force which caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. </span>
