What is the basic structure of the HIV virus? What is the function of the glycoproteins of its envelope?
a. Which type of viruses can be directly used for translation?
a)
dsRNA
b)
Positive ssRNA
c)
Retroviruses
d)
Negative ssRNA
b.
An antiviral drug specifically modifies viral receptors on a eukaryotic host cell. How might this affect the viral reproductive cycle?
It would enhance the process of viral apoptosis
It would result in the degeneration of the viral capsid
It would facilitate the process of viral endocytosis
It would prevent the virus from attaching to the host cell
we can stop the biosynthesis stage of the viral life cycle (not the stages before it) by
preventing/inhibiting:
A) fusion of the envelope and the plasma membrane
B) replication and expression of viral nucleic acid/genome
C) the virus's attachment molecules from binding to the host cell receptor
D) new copies of viral nucleic acid from combining with newly made viral proteins

- What is meant when it is said that a virus is in an inactive state?arrow_forwardDuring the lysogenic cycle of lambda (1) phage the phage genome is integrated in the host chromosome where it is passed on to daughter cells through binary fission. the phage DNA is copied and accumulates in the cytoplasm. Then a trigger causes capsid proteins to be made and phages are assembled. the product of one prophage gene is made and it activates most of the other prophage genes. the viral genes immediately turn the host cell into a lambda-producing factory. Then the host lyses. 0000arrow_forwardWhy does phage T4 need a lysozyme-like protein in order toinfect its host, and what part of T4 enters the host cytoplasm?arrow_forward
