Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.2CR
Summary Introduction
To determine: The enzymes that are essential for certain types of viruses for the replication but not found in normal cells.
Introduction: Viruses are microscopic organisms that can replicate only inside a host. They cannot remain outside a host cell. The virus uses replication machinery from the host to produce its progeny.

If a viral host cell has a mutation that interferes with the addition of carbohydrates to proteins (glycoproteins) during processing in the Golgi
apparatus, which of the following processes is most likely to occur?
O A. Viruses released by that host cell would have a decreased ability to infect cells than the virus that originally infected the cell.
B. The virus-encoded protease would be unable to cleave large viral proteins into smaller, functional polypeptides.
OC. The virus would be unable to replicate within the host cell.
D. Viruses released by that cell are novel and would result in infections with higher mortality rates.
You are studying RNA viruses and have discovered one that grows well in a culture of eukaryotic cells. You know that the virus is a single-stranded RNA virus, but you don't know if it is positive or negative stranded. Your lab-mate says, "Well, just treat your cell culture with cyclohexamide and see if the virus replicates its genome." You know that cyclohexamide inhibits protein elongation by binding to eukaryotic ribosomes. What is the basis of your lab-mate's suggestion?
Assume 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.

- The African swine fever virus has two membrane bilayers around the outside of the virus. The outer layer is from the host cell that the virus infects—it takes part of the host membrane with it as it leaves the cell. This membrane then fuses with the next cell the virus infects, and it is known that cholesterol is required in the membrane of the cell being infected in order for the virus to successfully infect the cell. Which of the following is the best explanation for why cholesterol would be required in the membrane of the cell the virus is infecting? Explain your choice in 25 words or less. Viral proteins may not have the correct conformation if the host membrane is less fluid due to lower cholesterol levels The cholesterol forms a channel through the membrane that allows the virus to enter the cell, and without cholesterol the virus cannot enter the cell The cholesterol disrupts a small portion of the hydrophobic core of the membrane to allow the virus to enter the cell, and…arrow_forwardRNA-dependent RNA polymerase performs which of the following functions?
