Microbiology (3.3) Virology + Lab TechniquesDiverse Structure and Function of Viruses - classified by genetic homology Viral Infection and Diseases - virulence = ability of virus to induce disease in infected host - Avirulent strains replicate with no pathological or symptomatic consequence - no significant correlation b/t structure of viruses + diseases they induce! - DNA/RNA - Enveloped/Naked - Large/Small Genomes Brainpower Read More Overview viral infections (pic) V...

Viruses are CORRECT ANSWER obligate intracellular parachutes what do viruses not have CORRECT ANSWER organelles, cytoplasmic membrane, cytosol, can't carry out metabolic reaction, don't grow n size or respond to environment, cannot reproduce independantly virions CORRECT ANSWER when virus is outside of host -possess a protein coat called capsid -capsid surround and protects nucleic acid(viral genome) viral envelope CORRECT ANSWER -present on some animal viruses -phospholipid bilaye...

Portage Microbiology Exam #6 Questions and Answers Already Passed True or False: Because the genome is contained within an enclosed space, (much like the nucleus of a cell) viruses are classified as eukaryotic False. Viruses are neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic Describe the two basic components of a virus (short answer) A virus has 1. genomic material comprised of either DNA or RNA and 2. a capsid, a membrane-like protective structure that contains the genetic material, similar to the nucleu...

- Do all viruses need a primer for their genome replication? Correct Answer-o No, some viruses are able to be self-prime with their own genome. Others use RNA primers and some use protein primers. - Describe how viruses in class VI and VII replicate their genomes. Correct Answer-o Class VI: (+) ssRNA to (-) ssDNA to dsDNA to (+) ssRNA using viral RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and host DNA-dependent RNA polymerase o Class VII: dsDNA to (+) ssRNA to (-) ssDNA to dsDNA using host DNA-dependent R...
