Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The comparison and contrast between the cell organelles of virus and bacteria.
Introduction:
The viruses are obligate organisms that show signs of life only inside a host. Outside the host, they either die or do not show any sign of life. They invade the host cell to carry out their function like replication. Unlike viruses, the bacteria are able to manage their own

Answer the following regarding the varicella-zoster virus:
a) the biology of the virus ( type: DNA/RNA type: single or double stranded)
b) how it replicates
c) life cycle of the virus (binding, fusion, reverse transcription, integration, replication, and assembly)
A microbiologist obtained two pure biological samples: one of a virus, and the other of a viroid. Unfortunately, the labels had been lost. The microbiologist felt she could distinguish the two by analyzing for the presence or absence of a single molecule. What molecule would she search for and why?
Describe the etiology/aetiology, morphology, and pathogenesis of the Zika virus.
Note: You have to use the knowledge of “Clinical biochemistry” as a foundation for your answers.
