Evolution

1. The adaptive immune responsive, antivirals, and species jumps are all selectable ____ that may push viruses through a genetic bottleneck.
5. Virus with ___ genomes tend to have higher mutations rates.
6. If a virus has a low ___ rate, they may not be able to come through a genetic bottleneck.
7. A population of RNA viruses that has amplified in a neutral environment, producing millions of progeny all slightly different.
8. Evolutionary change occur when the virus is replicating its _____.
9. All living things and all virus change overtime through genetic ____.
11. A pressure put on a population that only enables specific variants to survive

2. Changes in the genetic material that is passed on to future generations.
3. Genetic changes that do not alter the amino acid sequence.
4. This is the capacity of a viral swarm to continue to exist in the presence of selectable pressure.
7. Only segmented viruses can change through reassorting the genomic strands, called genetic ____.
10. Genetic changes occur overtime because the polymerase is ___ and does not perfectly copy the genome every time.
