1. Describe the difference between antigenic shift and antigenic drift. Even if you have been vaccinated for the seasonal flu, you still must be vaccinated again next year. Which type of antigenic change does this describe and how does this occur? How might the type of genome (segmented, not segmented) impact the type of antigenic change a virus undergoes?
2. What are the two major groups of retroviruses? Give an example of a lentivirus and explains its structure. What three functions does reverse transcriptase possess?
