They take up residence in cells, where they may stay dormant for long periods or benefit from the cells’ replication equipment to breed at a slow and steady price. These viruses have developed many clever ways to avoid detection by the host immune system— essentially each step in the immune process could be altered or managed by various genes present in one virus or one other. Vegetative species exhibit elaborate protection mechanisms to beat back viral assault.
Genetic recombination is the method by which a strand of DNA is damaged after which joined to the tip of a special …
