Essential Question: How do viruses affect human body systems? Investigation Question: How do viral genes affect our cells?
Investigation 1 Claim:
Viral genes were incorporated into human DNA. This retroviral RNA is what allows stem cells to remain pluripotent. Once the viral gene is turned on, the cells can become specialized.
