Concept explainers

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Which is the usual order of a viral replication cycle when it is making new virions? O Host recognition > replication > entry > uncoating > release O Uncoating > host recognition > replication > entry > release O Prophase > metaphase > anaphase > telophase > cytokinesis Host recognition > entry > uncoating > replication > release MacBook Air DII DD F11 888 F8 F9 F7 F6 F5 F3 F4 & %24 % 7 8 LO
Host specificity of a virus is due to O 1) similarities in size between the virus and the host cell. O 2) the presence or absence of a cell wall on the host cell. O 3) particular genes that it shares with the infected cell. 4) compatibility between viral and cellular surface molecules. 5) the presence of an envelope.
discuss the similarities and differences between animal and bacterial virus multiplication. (Words/concepts to include in your answer: attachment, adsorption, penetration, uncoating, synthesis, assembly, persistence, lysogeny, latency, release)
In electron micrographs of HSV infection, it can be seen that the intact virus initially reacts with cell-surface proteoglycans, then with specific receptors. This is later followed by viral capsids docking with nuclear pores. Afterward, the capsids go from being full to being "empty." Which of the following statements best fits these observations? The viral envelope is not required for infectivity, since the envelope does not enter the nucleus. The viral envelope mediates entry into the cell, the capsid mediates entry into the nuclear membrane, and the genome is all that enters the nucleus. Only the genetic material of the virus is involved in the cell's infectivity, and is injected into the host cell like the genome of a phage. Viral capsids are needed for the cell to become infected; since the full capsids enter the nucleus.
An antimicrobial drug binds to the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing it from working. Which of the following is true of this drug? It would inhibit early replication steps of some viruses, but not affect normal eukaryotic cell activity. It would directly interfere with translation of some viral proteins and some eukaryotic proteins. It would block assembly/maturation steps of some viruses, and interfere with translation in eukaryotic cells. It would interfere with release of newly formed viruses from a host cell, but not affect eukaryotic cells. It would interfere with protein synthesis in bacteria, but not affect eukaryotic ribosomes. It would interfere with mRNA transcription in bacteria and viruses, but not affect eukaryotic transcription.
we can stop the biosynthesis stage of the viral life cycle (not the stages before it) by preventing/inhibiting: A) fusion of the envelope and the plasma membrane B) replication and expression of viral nucleic acid/genome C) the virus's attachment molecules from binding to the host cell receptor D) new copies of viral nucleic acid from combining with newly made viral proteins E)budding

A viral particle adsorbs onto a host cell membrane. It uncoats and releases its single-stranded nonsegmented nucleic acid into the cytoplasm where it is immed dependent RNA polymerase, into mRNA. It is then translated into viral structural proteins and enzymes.
