Why do virus mutations occur?
Viral mutations occur because of errors. Almost always a virus mutation is the result of an error in RNA coding.
Some viruses contain DNA, not RN
A. But most errors occur in viruses with an RNA structure. This is because viruses with DNA structure have a more subtle mechanism for reproducing genetic information.
Viruses with DNA structure make fewer mistakes when copying genes to reproduce them. In the case of viruses with RNA structure, the control mechanism is more rudimentary.
RNA structure viruses are different because DNA polymerases cannot correct errors in their case. This leads to frequent mutations. A virus with RNA as genetic information undergoes very rapid mutations.
Virus mutations occur so that these organisms can survive.
Conclusion. Errors in viral RNA replication explain viral mutations.🔻Join ►
