When SARS-CoV-2 replicates, mistakes can be made in some copies of its genome, giving rise t mutations. Mutations happen randomly and are a source of genetic variations, or differences, among viruses. 7. Could these mutations make the virus more deadly to humans? Support your answer in one or two sentences.

Can i get a help answering this question: The case study tells you that the HIV virus exits the cell by budding, but how can you tell that just based on the structure of the HIV virus? (see attached for the case study)
Compare and contrast the role and types of viral mutations in 1918 IAV and SARS-C0V-2 in the respective pandemics, paying particular attention to: 1. causes of mutations 2. Key mutations responsible for generating highly pathogenic viral strain. 3. effects of mutated viral gene products on host immune system. 4. effects of newly emergent viral strain on virus spread worldwide.
answer doesn't have to be long i just need an explanation, thank you! The whole world right now is concerned (or they should be) about the appearance of new variants of SARS-CoV-2. Among other things, these variant viruses have mutations that change the amino acid sequence of the spike protein on the virus surface. While this is concerning, I would like to propose that there is a limit to how far these mutations can change the spike protein. Why can't there be an endless number of new mutations of this viral protein? How would these amino acid changes affect how the virus works?
Please match the definition. 1. Layers that surround the virus, giving it an exact shape that will interlock with the host cell. 2. Process where a virus inserts its DNA into and replicates with the host cell's genetic material (does not destroy cell). 3. Non-living particles that reproduce inside a living cell. 4. The genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a virus. 5. Process by which a virus enters a host cell, uses its raw materials and energy to create new viruses, which then burst from the host cell (destroying it) and spread. The answer choices are is on the picture.
