Summary Introduction
Introduction: Viruses are considered as the connecting link between non-living and living organisms. These creatures show the property to reproduce inside the host cell only and other than that they remain inactive outside the host cell. They are small organisms whose genome is covered by a protein coat called “capsid.” The virus has the capacity to infect a broad range of hosts in a small period of time.

- . EVOLUTION CONNECTION The success of some viruses lies intheir ability to evolve rapidly within the host. Such viruses evadethe host’s defenses by mutating and producing many alteredprogeny viruses before the body can mount an attack. Thus, theviruses present late in infection differ from those that initiallyinfected the body. Discuss this as an example of evolution inmicrocosm. Which viral lineages tend to predominate?arrow_forward1. "Briefly describe the two modes that enveloped viruses use for entry into their host cells. 2.
