A virion contains DNA and RNA. b. Viruses are acellular. c. Viruses replicate outside of the cell. d. Most viruses are easily visualized with a light microscope.arrow_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_forward
- Viruses are not typically considered living organisms because they contain no biological molecules like lipids and proteins they can not replicate or reproduce on their own they do have any genetic material (DNA or RNA)arrow_forwardFor an RNA virus, what is the most important consideration? how to produce its genetic material as mRNA how to make a DNA intermediate for replication how to produce an RNA strand from DNA how to translate its proteinsarrow_forwardViruses can carry out which of the processes described below? They can use the host cell to copy themselves and make viral proteins. They can use the host cell to copy themselves and then synthesize their own proteins inside the viral capsid. They can manufacture their own ATP, proteins, and nucleic acids. They can metabolize food and produce their own ATP.arrow_forward
- What is the function of reverse transcriptase in retroviruses? converts host cell RNA into viral DNA translates viral RNA into proteins uses viral RNA as a template for DNA synthesis destroy the host cell's DNA uses viral RNA as a template for making complementary RNA strandsarrow_forwardIntegrase Viruses are nonliving agents and reproduce independently from the host cells, * True False Coenocytic hyphae are septated. so each cell contains one or two nuclei *arrow_forwardWhich 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_forward
