Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic recombination between bird flu viruses and human flu viruses has led to new strains that the human immune system is not prepared for, causing widespread epidemics. This process of recombination allows for the mixing of genetic material from different virus strains, potentially leading to highly pathogenic variants.
