Compare and Contrast hidden and active viruses??
DIA [1.3K]
I think you are talking about the 2 types of virus cycles

the lytic cycle is where a virus invades a bacteria host and quickly inserts its own dna proteins into the bacteria's. the bacteria is then forced to copy the virus dna and reproduce the virus. once all the coppies are made the virus triggers the bacteria to self destruct from the inside, causing the bacteria toburst and releases hundreds of the tiny viruses into the host.
(think of when you get a cold)

the other cycle is the lysogenic cycle these are viruses that enter a host and lay quietly dormant while inserting their own proteins into the dna sequence of the bacteria host. the bacteria unknowingly copies the virus dna along with its own. the host doesn't know the virus has been in them until a stressor such as getting a high temperature of an infection causes the viruses to activate and stop being dormant (like with HIV)<span />

A family member has just been diagnosed with liver cancer. You are helping them decide what hospital they should choose for trea
tresset_1 [31]

Explanation:

I would like for this hospital to be able to give my family member radiation therapy which is used with X-rays and it can help persons with liver cancer because it can kill cancer cells. Of course, some treatments will maybe not be helping our family member so I would like for this hospital to have something more which are Radiofrequency ablation and Targeted therapy system. Radiofrequency ablation would be good because it is a non-surgical procedure. A Targeted therapy system is a system where the person who has cancer has to use substances to identify and attack cells of cancer and because of that, I would like for this hospital to have appropriate substances that our family member can use.
