In 1918, an influenza pandemic that originated with avian flu killed 50 million people. researchers isolated samples of that virus from bodies of infected people preserved in alaskan permafrost since 1918. from the samples, they sequenced the viral genome, then reconstructed the virus. the reconstructed virus is 39,000 times more infectious than modern influenza strains, and 100 percent lethal in mice. understanding how this virus works can us defend ourselves against other strains that may arise. for example, discovering what makes it so infectious and deadly would us design more effective vaccines. critics of the research are concerned: if the virus escapes the containment facilities (even though it has not done so yet), it might cause another pandemic. worse, the published dna sequence and methods to make the virus could be used for criminal purposes. do you think this research makes us more or less safe?

Personally, I believe the information helps.

Explanation:

Without this information the virus would not be contained, we would not have done research, taken samples, tested out the virus, or even attempted to contain it. With this information we can attempt to prevent a break out of the disease again. This is my personal opinion though.

his research revealed two genetically different groups of prokaryotes, which justified splitting kingdom monera into two kingdoms. the genetic and cellular differences were so great, that these two kingdoms were eventually placed into different domains in the current three-domain system.

a adaptation is when organism changes itself to fit the environment

ex. when its cold outside i wear a jacket

hello everyone my name is nevaeh, i know everyone needs in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. i set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get on work. no question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. i usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will with other specialized subjects. i can do essays all the way to power points : )

my google classroom is the code is 7hr2k4

~ use this opportunity to get more so you can thrive in the classroom
