it is difficult to produce a vaccine for the common cold because it is a viral genome that reproduces very slowly.

Question

true
false

Answer 1

False. The difficulty in producing a vaccine for the common cold is primarily due to the fact that there are over 200 different viruses, particularly rhinoviruses, that can cause cold symptoms. Additionally, these viruses mutate rapidly, making it challenging to create a vaccine that would be effective against all these different strains. The slow reproduction of the viral genome is not the main issue in vaccine development for the common cold.
