| Virus | Nonliving core of heredity meaterial covered in a protein coat. Can only reproduce inside of cells. |
| Classification of Virus | Shape, Ways of Reproduction, Type of Organism they infect, kind of heredity material |
| Method of reproductioin | Attach, Infect, Copy, and Release |
| Attach | A virus attaches itself to the surface of a bacterial cell |
| Invade | The hededity material of the virus injects itself into the cell. |
| Copy | Takes control of the cell and starts making new viruses. |
| Release | There are so many viruses that the cell explodes and the viruses go to attach themselves to other cells. |
| Latent Virus | A virus who becomes part of the cells heredity material instead of destroying it right away. Becomes part of chromosones. |
| Ex. of Viruses | HIV, chicken pox, small pox, cold sore |
| Vaccine | made from damaged virus or bacteria that can cause disease anymore. They can prevent but not stop viruses |
| Edward Jenner | made the first vaccine in 1796 |
| How can viruses be helpful? | Gene Therapy |
| Gene Therapy | Injecting viruses with the right kind of heredity material into cells with the wrong kind. |
| HIV | the human immunodeficiency virus |
| AIDS | the aquired human immune defiency syndrome |
| Why does it take longer for some people to get AIDS | Their immune systems are stronger so they can keep on making antibodies against the mutating virus |
| Why is it called the mutating enemy | It's genetic make-up is constantly changing |
| What is a potential AIDS vaccine | the canarypox virus |
| Are there any cures for viruses | no just vaccines that can prevent them |
| how does canarypox stop aids | it packages and HIV protiens into tiny particles that look like aids but don't have the core of heredity material in the middle. So your body makes antibodies and builds them up |
