Question
Chapter 13, Problem 5CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Prevention of virus attaching to the plant cell to avoid the infection in crops by an agricultural microbiologist.
Introduction:
Though viruses are first isolated from the plants, little is known about the plant viruses. The plant viruses also replicate in the same manner as a bacterial and animal viruses. The plant viruses attack the crops, destroy its yield, and sometimes causes tumor in plants too.

What would happen to a virus that found its way to an environment filled only with cells that were outside of its host range?
a) This virus would evolve until it was able to use the surrounding cells as hosts
b) This virus would actively transport itself to another area in search of host cells
C) This virus would replicate until it found cells that were within its host range
d) Nothing; this virus would not be replicated
Which of the following highly contagious viruses is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus with a helical capsid and envelope and is transmitted by coming in contact with respiratory secretions?
"This is a highly contagious respiratory illness transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes virus particles into the air," the health department said in a written statement. "It's so contagious that if one person is sick and spreading measles, nine out of 10 people around them who aren't immune will get it, too."
Group of answer choices
a. Measles
b. Parvovirus
c. Coxsackie virus A
d. Rhinovirus
In comparison to fungal and bacterial pathogens; why it is difficult to make assumption that plants are infected by viruses in field?

Depending on the type of virus, each of the choices is a potential entry mechanisms. A virus can gain entry by fusing its membrane with the host cell's membe to transfer its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by injecting its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by fusing with the host cell's membrane so that the entire virus enters the host cell.arrow_forwardAn 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.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardexplain how does koch's postulates apply to the diagnosis of plant virus diseases today.arrow_forwardwe 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)buddingarrow_forward
