The ethical dilemma becomes apparent when permission to treat is sought from the child’s parents. The child’s non-biological mother‚ who possesses primary custody‚ is refusing any medical treatment due to religious beliefs. However‚ the biological father insists that the little girl

linear macromolecules‚ consisting of either DNA or RNA. There are two different cycles in which the virus uses a host cell to replicate and reproduce itself. These two cycles are known as the lytic cycle‚ and the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle‚ viral particles are made from the host bacteria cell’s DNA‚ and replicas of the virus are made and sent back into the environment. The steps that make up this cycle are: the virus latches to the bacteria cell‚ which then inserts its DNA into the bacteria

Specific proteins on the viral capsid attach to receptors on the host cell; this attachment process is essential to viral infectivity and explains why viruses may only infect the cells of certain species or may only infect certain cells or tissues within a given host species. While the infecting virus triggers an immune response
