Viral genetic studies,vaccine development and clinical identification would not be possible without the ability to ________.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Viral genetic studies, vaccine development, and clinical identification all require the ability to culture viruses in vitro (outside of a living organism) and in vivo (within a living organism). This allows researchers to study the virus and develop treatments or preventative measures. Transforming human cells into cancerous cells (B) and studying prions in neurological tissue of animals (C) are not necessary for these specific applications. Activating lysogenic induction in bacteriophages (D) is a specific technique used in studying bacterial genetics, but is not necessary for viral genetic studies or vaccine development.
