Virus Are they Artificial Intelligence?

Today Bio lecture was on the lysogenic cycle of Viruses.

For simplicity, viruses will infect host cell by injecting viral DNA/ RNA into the host cell which will cause host cell's genetic material to be hydrolysed and host cell's cellular metabolism is taken over to replicate copies of viral DNA/ RNA and thus "reproduce" more copies of the virus. Usually the virus will cause the host cell to lyse when it emerges from the host cell. This is the Lytic cycle

However, in lysogenic cycle, viral DNA/ RNA combines with the host cell DNA/ RNA and lay dormant in them replicating along with the rest of the genetic material. Well according to my notes, when environmental changes the viral DNA/ RNA will excise itself from the host cell DNA/ RNA and initiate the process similar to lytic cycle where in the end, new viruses are still created, and host cell lysed.

Likewise i happen to be unsure of the idea of when environment changes, so i ask Ms Tan, apparently the answer i got was that when the viral DNA/ RNA detects any external threats or changes in the environment, it will excise itself from the host genetic material. Thus, when the virus feels the need to "reproduce" copies of itself, it will enter the induction process.

Well this sets me thinking. . . . . According to the explaination, it seems like virus could communicate with each other. Imagine the senario. . . . . . Virus Alpha Squad Scout to Virus Alpha Squad Leader " Sir, severe heat storm apporaching!" Virus Alpha Squad Leader " alright Alpha Squad get out of ur slumber! pack up and move out! GOGOGOGO !!!! " then the virus troops march out of the dense forest of cytoplasm, destroying it in the process.

Lols imagine virus could really communicate, guess this will be the end of humman kind, if they are able to communicate, our vaccinations will tend to have a very short period of effectiveness as the other virus could learn of the effects and thus develop immunity to it.

Laughs . . . . . . . . .
