It occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle. b. It makes a sister chromatid. c. It denatures DNA strands. d. It occurs semiconservatively. e. It follows base-pairing rules.arrow_forward
- Which of the following are true about bacteriophages (phages)? Select all correct answers. A phage is Nature's version of a broad-spectrum antibiotic Phages are virus that destroy bacteria Phages are a possible alternative to antibiotics Phages continue to replicate until the target bacteria is eliminated. Phages kill bacteria by destroying the bacterial RNA as it is produced.arrow_forwardWhat is true about the difference between prions and viruses? Viruses have genomes composed of RNA, whereas prions have genomes composed of DNA. Viruses have capsids composed of protein, whereas prions are made only of nucleic acid. Viruses infect many types of cells, whereas prions infect only prokaryotic cells. Viruses generally cause disease symptoms quickly, whereas prions generally take many years to cause disease symptoms.arrow_forwardViruses with negative sense RNA genomes typically, make proteins by: (Ignore retroviruses, and the unusual characteristics of coronaviruses) Translation of short RNA transcripts generated by RDRP Generating a DNA copy, which is then transcribed by host RNA polymerase. Translation of the viral genome by host ribosomes. Production of a polyprotein, which must be cleaved into smaller proteins. Generating a negative sense genome copy, which is then translated by host ribosomes.arrow_forward
- Which can be targeted by a drug used to kill bacterial cells? nucleoid unique ribosome structure lack of nucleus lack of golgi body lack of histones folic acid synthesizing enzymesarrow_forwardThe genetic material of viruses can come in which form? O Double stranded DNA Single stranded DNA Single stranded RNA Double stranded RNA All of the abovearrow_forwardWhich biological system contains a protein nucleocapsid surrounding 2 antiparallel polynucleotide strands (held together by hydrogen bonds), with deoxyribose sugars, but no ribose sugars? a single-stranded RNA viroid (like avocado sun blotch viroid) a double-stranded RNA virus (like the reovirus family) a single-stranded DNA virus (like fX174 virus of E. coli) a double-stranded DNA virus (like the smallpox virus) a single-stranded RNA virus (like tobacco mosaic virus)arrow_forward
- The lytic cycle of a bacteriophage can be characterized by A large number of phages are released at a time. The virus-host relationship usually lasts for generations. The viral genome replicates without destroying the host. Viral DNA is incorporated into the host genome.arrow_forwardWhich statement is true? A virion contains DNA and RNA. Viruses are acellular. Viruses replicate outside of the cell. Most viruses are easily visualized with a light microscope.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a known characteristic that can lead to genetic changes in some viruses? Operons in the viral genome can undergo homologous recombination, leading to genetic rearrangements. Reassortment of segmented genomes can occur if a host cell is co-infected with two different viral strains. RNA polymerases used in replication of the viral genome have proofreading capability. Environmental conditions can trigger the SOS response, which triggers mutations in the viral genome.arrow_forward
