- How could a host cell use myosin to arrange actin such that a virus couldn't enter the cell?arrow_forward#31,32,35arrow_forward11:49 C ( Notes Viruses infect healthy host cells by injecting their genetic material into the host cell and hijacking the cellular machinery of the cell to produce more viruses. Eventually, as the host cell produces more and more copies of the virus, it will explode, releasing the newly produced viruses into the surrounding environment to infect other host cells. Without a host cell, a virus is not capable of replicating itself. Based on the four principles of life discussed in class, are viruses alive? Please justify your answer.arrow_forward
- 3) It is now 2085 and the world is experiencing another pandemic viral infection. The scientist that discovers the virus, purifies out the genetic information and learns that it has a sequence that is: 26% Cytosine 21% Adenine 28% Uracil and 25% Guanine What sort of genetic information does this new virus have?
