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 would be the first step in biosynthesis of a virus with a - (minus) strand of RNA?

- If the HIV did not have a reverse transcriptase enzyme, then which of the following would apply? Select one: a. The virus can make use of the reverse transcriptase enzyme from the host cell to convert its RNA into DNA b. Viral particles will be produced without reverse transcriptase enzyme since the original HIV is an RNA virus and needs to assemble RNA ant coat proteins together c. The virus will manufacture its proteins from its RNA using translation and ribosomes from host cell d. Provirus will not be formed and assembly of viral particles will never occur e. The virus will not be able to recognise the host cell and therefore entry into the cell is blockedarrow_forwardWhat is the function of reverse transcriptase in retroviruses? O A. It converts host cell RNA into viral DNA. B. It uses viral RNA as a template for making more viral RNA genomes. O. It translates viral RNA into proteins. D. It uses viral RNA as a template for DNA synthesis, that is, it makes complementary DNA.arrow_forwardA virus is isolated, and individual virions appear spherical. What type of virus is this? A.
