Give two examples of helpful interactions with Bacteria.

Eat away our dead skin cells, live in our digestive tracts, help plants use nitrogen from air, etc.

T/F. If you get a vaccine this means that you cannot be infected by the pathogen.

Explain the process of budding.

Budding is when you will get an identical daughter cell from the original cell.

No - virus

What are the common structural features of a virus?

Genetic material, capsid, spikes

How do bacteria, viruses and fungi infect their host organism?

Bacteria - entering body, virus - injecting thier genetic material, fungi- tiny spores

Why is it important to have (or introduce) genetic diversity or variability during reproduction?

Allows the organism to better survive and adapt to its environment.
