Which of the following is NOT a reason why antiviral agents
are hard to develop?
a. Because virus genomes are so small, there are relatively few
molecules that can be used as drug targets.
b. Antiviral agents usually have severe side effects because
viral replication involves many host cell processes.
c. To destroy the virus, the host cell must also be destroyed.
d. Drug-resistant strains develop rapidly because viruses
mutate quickly within the host.
c. to destroy the virus, the host cell must also be destroyed.
,Which of the following statements regarding the minimum

cell

were DNA from the host chromosome, what would happen
when the bacteriophage infected a new bacterial cell?
a. more bacteriophage would be synthesized, resulting in
death of the new bacterial cell
b. no more bacteriophage would be synthesized, as there is no
bacteriophage genome available to direct synthesis
c. the new bacterial cell would die
d. the bacteriophage would be converted from a lysogenic
phage to a lytic bacteriophage
b. no more bacteriophage would be synthesized, as there is no
bacteriophage genome available to direct synthesis
