Compare a slow change such as continents moving with a rapid change such as a meteorite striking earth. what are some of the similarities in the way the two changes affect earth? what are some of the differences?

A slow change such as continents moving will create differences in ecosystems. This is also the same effect caused by a rapid change such a meteorite striking earth. These two phenomena will create diversity and different living conditions. The slow change, however, will give organisms time to adopt giving them a good chance of survival, unlike a rapid change which will give most, if not all, organisms little chance to survive.

When a virus infects a host cell, it uses the cell's machinery to make copies of its own genetic material in a process called replication. finally, during the process of self-assembly, that protein shell and the copies of the virus's genetic material are assembled into new viruses.
