Students have asked these similar questions
Why are vaccines and/or passive immunization the method of choice in the
treatment or prevention of viral infections?
A. There are no known inhibitors to reverse transcription
B. Viruses are non-living and do not have their own genetic mechanisms to reproduce
by themselves hence host cells must rely on targeting the virus or their products.
C. Antibodies prevent replication of viral genome
D. Antibodies prevent transcription and translation of viral genomes
E. All of these
Which of the following statements is not true?
Select one:
a. Viruses multiply inside living cells using viral - mRNA, tRNA & ribosomes.
b. Viruses multiply inside living cells.
c. Viruses contain DNA or RNA.
d. The nucleic acid of a virus is surrounded by a protein coat.
e. Viruses cause the synthesis of specialized infectious elements.
Which of the following best describes the mechanism of action of the antibiotic streptomycin?
A. it disrupts protein synthesis in resistant bacteria.
B. Streptomycin inhibits cell wall synthesis in all bacterial species.
C. Streptomycin creates mutations in bacteria which cause them to become resistant.
D. It disrupts protein synthesis in nonresistant bacteria.
