Question

This is kind of a hypothetical question.

Now that we have covered a variety of infectious agents and you have learned some of the different things they can do, we will apply it in a hypothetical example. I want you to take one component from an organism and put the gene(s) for it into another organism to make it more "scary". Use logic based on what you know so you come up with a combination that makes sense. You need to respond to at least one other post. You can help each other point out errors or improvements. Tell what component and the source it is from, the organism you will put it into, and an explanation of how it will work.

So basically, I need help creating a "scarier disease."

Answer 1

Explanation:- creating scarier disease need the transfer of genes that encode toxin proteins, enzymes etc that inflict damage to the host directly or indirectly. The genes can be isolated from a virus, bacteria, fungi etc since these are disease causing pathogens.
