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.
A fossil is the remains or traces of a once-living plant or animal that was preserved in rock or other material before the beginning of recorded history.The term also is used to describe the fossil fuels (oil, coal, petroleum, and natural gas) that have been formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals.nother type of fossil is the darkened carbon imprint of a buried plant or, more rare, animal. When an organism dies and is buried, pressure underneath Earth's surface compresses the organism between rock faces.
Fossilization is the process by which plant and animal remains are preserved in sedimentary rock. The Earth is covered in layers of fossils, and this record of history helps us understand what types of organisms that lived in the distant past (i.e. before the flood of Noah).rom all these examples, a general trend emerges. The best fossilization occurs when there is rapid burial and anoxic conditions to prevent scavenging, no reworking by currents, and diagentic alteration which preserves a fossil rather than destroy it. These conditions are what is expected in models of the Flood.
