Chapter 21 retrovirus Question - Multiple Choice
Part A
Do all viruses that contain RNA also have reverse transcriptase?
Yes, all RNA viruses are retrovirus.
No, some RNA viruses use the host machinery to make protein, but, no viral DNA is ever made.
Yes, the only way to make replicate an RNA virus is to reverse transcribe the RNA into DNA.
No, some RNA viruses also have DNA and do not need reverse transcriptase
Yes, Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme in all viruses.

In the process of apoptosis, the cell survives During attachment, the virus attaches at specific sites on the cell surface The viral capsid helps the host cell produce more copies of the viral genome mRNA works outside of the host cell to produce enzymes and proteins.arrow_forwardWhich statement is true of reverse transcriptase?

- Figure 21.10 Which of the following statements is false? In the lytic cycle, new phages are produced and released into the environment. In the lysogenic cycle, phage DNA is incorporated into the host genome. An environmental stressor can cause the phage to initiate the lysogenic cycle. Cell lysis only occurs in the lytic cycle.arrow_forwardPart B - Viral Classification: The Baltimore Scheme The Baltimore classification scheme is based on the relationship between the virus' genome and its mRNA. For the following choices, indicate which viruses would fall into each classification: 1) require reverse transcriptase to copy the information in their own genome to DNA; 2) can replicate and be transcribed in the same manner as the cell's own genetic material; and 3) a replicative form of DNA must be produced and is used for both replication and transcription. Drag and drop choices to the bins they describe. double-stranded DNA viruses Requires reverse transcriptase double-stranded RNA viruses retroviruses double-stranded DNA viruses that have an RNA intermediate Functions similarly to cell's own genetic material plus-strand RNA viruses minus-strand RNA viruses Reset Help plus-strand DNA viruses Uses a replicative form of DNAarrow_forwardfalse true Viruses do not reproduce .within host cell Phagocytosis is type of Lactive transport R.B.Cs have no mitochondria Phospholipids have similar structure to fat Prokaryotic cell has no mitochondria Channel protein form a small opening through the cell membrane All nucleic acids have no oxygen In prophase stage chromosomes become shorter Cell is defined as basic functional unit of living .organism Phospholipid bilayer of cell membrane has hydrophilic head only O Oarrow_forward
