Prophages and proviruses have been described as being similar to bacterial plasmids. How are prophages and proviruses similar to plasmids? How are they different from plasmids? – Review the structure and function of prophages, proviruses and plasmids, how do they replicate, where are they located within the host.
Most phages that use DNA to propagate work by hijacking host bacterial machinery including RNA Polymerase. Scientists found that treatment of jumbo bacteriophage PhiKZ with Rifampicin did not stop the phage from propagating. What is allowing for the survival of this phage?

O 5) They can replicate autonomouslyarrow_forwardAssume you isolate a single stranded (+) RNA virus. When you examine the proteins in the virus, you find that it does NOT contain replicase enzymes within its capsid. Which of the following is true? This virus must have a gene that encodes replicase. This virus will not be able to enter a host cell. Its genome cannot be translated (the process of translation) by the host cell ribosomes. A DNA copy of the viral genome has to be made before viral genes are expressed. This virus must lack surface antigens.arrow_forward

- Viruses are made up of the same biomolecules as cellular organisms (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, etc.). They infect cells and replicate themselves using resources from the host cells. Scientists discovered a previously unknown strain of virus in the tropical Pacific Ocean and it can infect higher-order eukaryotes. Initial analysis revealed that the virus is mainly composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Chemical analysis after complete hydrolysis revealed the following building blocks (by weight): Chemical components Nucleosides Amino acids Lipids, phosphates, and carbohydrates Percentage by weight 20 30 50 Analysis of percentages of nucleosides yielded the following results (by molar ratio): Nucleosides A G T C U Percentage by mole 19 29 19 29 4 Researchers determined that the lipids found in the virus form a bilayer membrane surrounding the virus, and are obtained from the membrane of the host cell during virus maturation and exit from host cell. Further…arrow_forwardRNA viruses need to regulate the switch from mRNA synthesis to genome replication. Describe three of the mechanisms RNA viruses use to switch from transcription to replication.arrow_forwardWhen bacteriophage P1 causes E. coli to lyse, the resulting materialis called a P1 lysate. What type of genetic material would befound in most of the P1 phages in the lysate? What kind of geneticmaterial is occasionally found within a P1 phage?arrow_forward
