Evidence of Evolution

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes how a virus replicates?

• A virus divides into two identical virus particles before infecting the host cell.

• A virus enters a host cell and uses the materials from the host cell to produce new virus particles.

• Multiple virus particles fuse and form a large particle that breaks apart, releasing new virus particles.

• Multiple virus particles break down in component parts, which then reassemble into new copies of the virus.

How do you feel about evidence of evolution?

• Oh yea I got this

• If I ACTUALLY study I will get it!

• BANANA

• We talked about how things evolved fr
