Summary Introduction
Introduction: Influenza is the acute viral infection of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. It is also referred to as flu that is characterized by fever, chills, headache, sore throat, runny nose, generalized weakness, and pain in muscles. Influenza is classified into three main groups, namely, A, B, and C.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which nucleic-acid based technique will detect norovirus?
A. Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) probes
B. PCR with primers specific for the genome of this virus
C. Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP)
D. reverse transcription PCR with specific primers
A patient's blood sample tests positive for the antigen to Vibrio cholerae. Which of the following interpretations is correct?
A. This person has cholera.
B. This person was exposed to any species of Vibrio.
C. This person was exposed to V. cholerae recently.
D. This person had cholera at some point in their lifetime.
In Hershey and Chase’s experiment investigating which biological molecule carries genetic information, they found that phage DNA with radiolabeled phosphorus was retained in bacterial cells after transduction. To conclude that DNA is the genetic material, what assumption did they have to make?
A. Protein does not enter the bacterium during transduction.
B. DNA does not stay in the media after transduction.
C. All of the phage DNA was radiolabeled.
D. Bacteria can be transduced by phage.
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 blocked
