Capsid - Guides d'étude, Notes de cours & Résumés

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 2. 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 nucleus of a eukaryotic cell 3. The _____ surrounds the ...

Virus - infectious particle consisting of genes packaged in a protein coat non-living obligate intracellular parasite A Virus is not living - True Viruses can't produce or carry out metabolism outside of a host cell - True Where do viruses reproduce? - In living cells Viruses=parasites - Obligate parasites - require a host cell for replication All living organisms have viruses: - prokaryotes and all varieties of eukaryotes Bacterial viruses - Bacteriophage; phages Viru...

Biology 114 Exam 4; Questions & Answers 100% Verified Virus Correct answer-is an infectious particle consisting of genes packaged in a protein coat Capsid Correct answer-protein shell that encloses a viral genome, may be rod-shaped, polyhedral, or more complex shape Viral Envelopes Correct answer-a membrane, derived from membranes of the host cell, that cloaks the capsid, which in turn encloses a viral genome

Bio 114 Exam 4 (UA) Questions and Answers Already Passed What is referred to as the "switch" in a DNA segment? The "switch" is known as the operator, a DNA segment typically located within the promoter region. What role does a repressor play in gene regulation? A repressor is a protein that attaches to an operator and obstructs RNA polymerase from attaching to the promoter. What is a corepressor? A corepressor is a molecule that works in conjunction with a repressor protein ...

Which of the following is a property of viruses that defines them as unique organism: a) Do not contain or code for proteins synthesis or energy-generating mechanisms b) Have a wall composed of LPS c) have an icosohedral capsid Correct Answer-a) Do not contain or code for proteins synthesis or energy-generating mechanisms T/F: Enveloped viruses are normally more resistant to dry conditions than non-enveloped viruses. Correct Answer-False (Non enveloped are more resistant)

Are Viruses Living or Nonliving? - They are only considered living when they are inside of a host cell, using their resources and energy. Outside of a host they are considered intert. When are Viruses considered to be "alive"? - When they are inside of a host cell. When inside, their nucleic acid (ONLY RNA OR DNA) become active. *Virus replicates Obligatory Intracellular Parasites - Require livinghost cell in order to multiply - Such as Viruses. Defining a Virus - ...
