Viruses aren't considered to be alive since it doesn't fit the 8 charateristics of life which is:
- All living things are made up of one or more cells
- All living things grow and develop
- All living things reproduce
- All living things obtain and use materials and energy
- All living things are bases on universal genetic codes
- All living things response to their enviroment
- All living things maintain a stable internal enviroment
- All living things change.
The virus was able to still infect the healthy leaved even after it was crystallized making it not capable to be considered living.

Lytic cycle is a cycle that is very quick and can sprea very quickly as you can see in the diagram right beside. The released virus is capable on infecting other cells. This is when the outbreak of cold sores can happen, since the outburst of the virus was there.
Cold sores are viruses that are not able to be treated there for the virus can be inside you body until it feels the need of the outburst. This cycle is called the Lysogenic Cycle.

The first line of defence we have to protect against pathogens, bacteria and viruses is out skin, mucus, sweat and tears. The skins is the first barrier the any micro-organisms need to go through before entering out body. When our skin is broken due to an injury those mico organisms are able to enter and replicate resulting in infections, swelling and pain. Our tears, mucus and saliva contain enzymes that is able to break down the cell wall of the bacteria. The sweat glands will kill the bacteria with the acidic enviroment resulting in the nasty smell. The second line of defence is the inflammatory response. It is the no specific defence reation caused by an inury or infection from tissues. An example of this is a fever. If you have a high body temperature the micro organism is most likey slow down and stop the growth of the micro organism since they have a small narrow range of temperature that they can survive in. The third defence is the interferon. They had recieved the name interferon since they interfere with the micro organism's growth.
I would choose conjugation since there is an increase of genetic diversity and you can get new variety which might be able to adapt better in that enviroment. If you keep dividing using binary fission you might get a huge number of that micro organism but if the enviroment isn't favorable for that micro organisms they will ALL die since they are the exact copy of each other,
The first image on the right is transduction and it is the gene transfer from viruses to bacteria
The second image is transformation and it is the genes that is taken just from the enviroment around then. The random floating DNA fragments that the bursted cell had left. The bacterial cell will take in the DNA fragments adding genes they didn't have before.. |
If we over use antibiotices there can be a random bacteria that is able to adapt the that antibiotics due two increase of genetic diversity. If that bacteria is immuned to that antibiotics it will no longer do harm to that bacterial cell and survive. The other cells who isn't able to immune to that antibiotics will eventually die leaving the immunes bacterial cells to survive. They will be able to reprodue passing on the immuned genes to the future generation. The antibiotics are no longer helping creating a "super bug".
