Question

How different is the growth of a viral population according to its biotic potential from the growth of a bacterial population according to its biotic potential?

Answer 1

The growth curve in agreement with the biotic potential of virus as well as bacteria present optimistic exponential pattern. The only disagreement amongst them is that in every time period bacteria increase their population by double but the viral population increases hundred times. The viral population growth curve as a matter of fact has more extreme growth. This occurs as the bacteria generate offspring by means of binary division, however every virus replicate producing even hundreds of new virus.
