As a result of immunodeficiency, most infected cats do not show symptoms and have normal life expectancy, however they are prone to developing other infections and certain types of cancer. A retrovirus, such as FIV, inserts a copy of its genetic material into the DNA of a host cell, where it can replicate. FIV is a lentivirus. a specific type of retrovirus that can take months, or even years to incubate, so the virus is slow moving, capable of lying dormant in the body before causing symptoms.
1.1.3 Types of fossils. There are many ways in which a record of an organism can be preserved. Body fossils can occur in many ways, including: unaltered preservation, recrystallization, replacement, permineralization, carbonization, impressions, casts and internal molds..2.2 Other types of fossils. 1  1. Trace fossils. 2  Unlike body fossils, where a portion of the actual organism or its skeleton is preserved, trace fossils are the remains of an organism's activity or behavior. 3  Examples include tracks, trails, burrows, and borings. 4  Trace fossils will be covered in detail in a later lab. 5  2.
Fossils are imprints left during the decay of a plant or animal. They are buried within sediments that are not disturbed for long periods. Mud is often a medium for fossil development since is can become shale or limestone over time.The study of various types of fossils have allowed us to learn about the structure and behavior of life many thousands of years ago.rue-form fossils are body parts of an animal or remains of a substance. They are often formed when the organism is caught in ice, tree sap or tar. Complete features are left behind.
