Fill in the blanks below: • This simulation uses a disease that spreads more easily than COVID-19. • This simulation assumes once you have recovered you can neither transmit the virus or get sick again. Is that true for COVID-19? • This simulation uses a town of 200 people. This simulation assumes everyone who gets sick recovers. Is that true for COVID-19? • Which town had the most healthy people at the end?

Hi, can you kindly make 3 concepts that is related to the research topic which is "Compromising own health care in hospitals due to covid-19 virus. Here's the format below: Concept 1: (Title that is related to the research topic as mentioned above") Definition: (meaning) Description: (Functions, importance, features, effects, disadvantages and advantages) Concept 2 and Concept 3 are same to concept 1's format but each have different title.

you want to design a vaccine that contains DNA that can fight against new variant (MU) of COVID-19 strain. You know that you can alter the information in DNA and can make a viral-vector based vaccine. What kind of virus you will use and why? not a writing assignment just few sentences
Lab, you will need to design your own experiment that detects the nucleic acids from the given list of virus genes. This experiment's results could be used to identify the viruses present based on the genes and nucleic acids. Virus gene list • NP gene from different avian influenza virus (AIV) subtypes • H5 subtype of AIV • H7 subtype of AIV • H9 subtype of AIV Based on the above list of virus genes, design an experiment that will differentiate the genes based on the molecular weights of the different nucleic acids present. • What method will you use and why? • What specific % agarose will you use for this experiment? • How will the listed genes separate (which will be at the top and which at the bottom)? Include a drawing that shows the differentiated nucleic acid patterns you would expect to see as the results of your experiment. This pattern can be hand-drawn or
Which viruses have potential for the highest mutation rates, DNA or RNA viruses? Explain O DNA viruses as DNA polymerases do not proofread thus make many mistakes/mutations when viral RNA is copied DNA viruses as DNA polymerases do not proofread thus make many mistakes/mutations when viral DNA is copied RNA viruses as DNA polymerases do not proofread thus make many mistakes/mutations when viral DNA is copied RNA viruses as RNA polymerases do not proofread thus make many mistakes/mutations when viral RNA is copied and DNA polymerases do proof read
This table lists three hypothetical versions of the spike protein gene in the coronavirus. The B version is the original version in bats; the H and N versions have mutations. The last two columns show the characteristics of the spike protein for each version of the spike protein gene. Version of the Spike Protein Gene B H N H ΟΝ O B B and N OH and B Spike protein can bind to molecules on the surface of ON and H Bat Cells Yes Which version of the spike protein gene will result in a spike protein that will allows a coronavirus to enter a human cell to reproduced by the cell? No No Human Cells No Yes No
COVID-19 Research Every year, the United States and the world suffer a serious outbreak of emerging, re emerging or endemic disease. Using documented and reliable sources on the internet, find information about COVID-19 and its history. Please also list the souces used. Part 1: The History of COVID-19- respond to ALL questions Who first documented it? what was the first listed causal agent? Are there any identified vectors? What are the symptoms? What were some of the early treatments? Who identified the virus and what is the virus named? Why does this outbreak have gotten such a strong foothold? 2: The Virus Describe the structure of this virus including: its genetic material the configuration/ structure of its protein capsid which cells it infects, how that infection takes place. list symptoms and complications that can arise. what the first identified strain was, and list the current strains and what mutations have occurred to create the new versions (in general - not a…
The success of HAART (highly active antiretrovial therapy) against HIV is based on the idea that the probability of having an HIV virion that can simultaneously resist multiple anti-HIV drugs is very low. You were asked to investigate whether the same principle can be applied to another RNA virus, called Virus X. This is what you know about Virus X. (1) For a given antiviral drug, approximately 1 in 1,000 virions may carry a mutation that confers resistance against the said drug. (2) Roughly a total of 1010 virions can be found in an individual infected with Virus X. Assuming that all the drugs work independently of each other (i.e., mutations that allow resistance to one drug have no effect on the resistance to the other drugs), then minimally how many drugs are needed for this treatment regimen to work?

A covid-19 vaccine is a biotechnology product intended to provide acquired immunity against coronavirus disease covid-19. As of december 2020, researchers are testing 59vaccines in clinical trials on humans and 16 have reached the final stages of testing. A covid vaccine developed by pfizer has been already approved for use in the uk and the first doses have been given to patients. vaccine typically require years of research and testing before reaching the clinic but in 2020, scientists embarked on a race to produce safe and effective coronavirus vaccine in record time. 1. companies developing vaccines,drugs and diagnostic for covid-19 for being forced to scale up manufacturing challenges to meet the enormous demand, what the manufacturing challenges to meet the covid-19 vaccine demand.
This figure shows the frequency of the different variants of the novel coronavirus over time colored as each variant. I need help understanding what the figure tells me about the relative fitnesses of the delta variant compared to the alpha variant?
Why must primary cell cultures be restarted every so often when preparing primary cell cultures to observe morphological changes caused by cells infected by a virus? Why are tumor cells preferred? Why are non-enveloped viruses generally more resistant to disinfectants than are enveloped viruses? A public health physician isolated large number of phages from rivers used as a source of drinking water in western Africa. They physician is very concerned that humans might become ill from drinking this water, although she knows that the phages specifically attack bacteria. Why is she concerned?
Since early 2020 human societies around the world have suffered a viral pandemic and struggled to cope with Covid-19. Provide one example of a policy or response that has been effective and one example of a policy or response that has been ineffective. Propose a policy that should be implemented in the near future. ( should be based on your knowledge of evolutionary biology.)
