Chrоnic wаsting diseаse (CWD) is а fatal, cоntagiоus neurological illness spread among deer, elk, moose, and reindeer populations caused by misfolded forms of proteins called prions. These misfolded infectious prions catalyze the misfolding of normal (healthy) prions in the host brain into the infectious form, which then go on to further catalyze misfolding of more healthy prion proteins, leading to increasing damage to brain tissue, ultimately resulting in death. Prions are transmitted directly through saliva, blood, urine, and feces, as well as indirectly via contaminated soil, plants, and water, where they can remain infectious for years. Based on this information and your understanding of the definition of life, are prions alive? Please explain. Include the following in your answer: Define the characteristics of life as discussed in this course Identify which characteristics (if any) apply to prions Identify which characteristics (if any) do not apply to prions Explain your rationale for why prions are or are not alive using CWD prions as an example Your answer should be a paragraph of at least 4-5 sentences. Note that there is not a single answer to this question, but the point is to demonstrate your understanding of prions and the definition of life!
