Question
Chapter 16, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The three examples of viruses that infect humans with symptoms associated with their respective infections.
Concept introduction:
Virus is an infectious small particles that can’t be seen through the naked eyes. They are made up of protein coat in which their genetic material which can be either double stranded or single stranded DNA or RNA is present. The replication in viruses takes place in five stages that is attachment, penetration, synthesis, assembly and release.
