The principal genomic component isolated from equine influenza virus is 22% C, 23% A, 22% G and 33% U. Is this sufficient data to determine whether the genomic material is DNA/RNA and is double- or single-stranded? Why or why not? Explain, using a diagram
Assume you isolate a single stranded (+) RNA virus. When you examine the proteins in the virus, you find that it does NOT contain replicase enzymes within its capsid. Which of the following is true?
This virus must have a gene that encodes replicase.
This virus will not be able to enter a host cell.
Its genome cannot be translated (the process of translation) by the host cell ribosomes.
A DNA copy of the viral genome has to be made before viral genes are expressed.
This virus must lack surface antigens.

- You are studying RNA viruses and have discovered one that grows well in a culture of eukaryotic cells. You know that the virus is a single-stranded RNA virus, but you don't know if it is positive or negative stranded. Your lab-mate says, "Well, just treat your cell culture with cyclohexamide and see if the virus replicates its genome." You know that cyclohexamide inhibits protein elongation by binding to eukaryotic ribosomes. What is the basis of your lab-mate's suggestion?arrow_forwardChemical composition analysis of a viral genome showed 22.1% A, 27.9% C, 27.9% G, and 22.1% U.
