Several different types a vaccines have been made to immunize people against infection by the new coronavirus. One category of vaccines are called Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. These vaccines contain nothing except the Messenger RNA for just one of the proteins that the novel coronavirus makes. Specifically, a protein called the spike protein which is on the outside of the coronavirus particle. This is one of the proteins that your immune system responds to when you become infected by the coronavirus. Considering this information, which of the following is true? A. The vaccine Messenger RNA use translated into a protein by the coronavirus ribosomes B. The vaccine Messenger RNA must be transported into the nucleus before it can be translated C. The vaccine Messenger RNA has a ribosomal binding site near its three prime end D. The vaccine Messenger RNA has a ribosomal binding site near its five prime end E. The vaccine Messenger RNA is transcribed into a protein by your ribosomes

A. Briefly explain why it is impossible for the Covid-19 vaccines to actually make you sick with the virus or for you to test positive for the virus after receiving any of the current Covid-19 vaccines. B. Why is it recommended that you get the Covid-19 vaccine even if you have already been infected with the virus? C. Some people are concerned that the mRNA vaccines can alter their DNA. Explain why this is not possible.
Based on mRNA vaccines, would you prefer to get a COVID-19 vaccine made from mRNA or protein? Justify your answer.
