Concept explainers

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Viruses with negative sense RNA genomes typically, make proteins by: (Ignore retroviruses, and the unusual characteristics of coronaviruses) Translation of short RNA transcripts generated by RDRP Generating a DNA copy, which is then transcribed by host RNA polymerase. Translation of the viral genome by host ribosomes. Production of a polyprotein, which must be cleaved into smaller proteins. Generating a negative sense genome copy, which is then translated by host ribosomes.
A viral mutation that causes changes in the glycoprotein spikes would affect which aspect of the virus? The virus would become lysogenic and incorporate its genome into the host cell genome. The virus would enter the host by a combination of endocytosis and fusion. The virus would lose its viral envelope and become a naked virus. The virus would adsorb to different host cells and its host range would be altered. The viral genome would not require uncoating once inside the host cell.
Here are some key traits that distinguish the three domains of life (some of which are from the table on IB chapter 3.2).

Why must primary cell cultures be restarted every so often when preparing primary cell cultures to observe morphological changes caused by cells infected by a virus? Why are tumor cells preferred? Why are non-enveloped viruses generally more resistant to disinfectants than are enveloped viruses? A public health physician isolated large number of phages from rivers used as a source of drinking water in western Africa. They physician is very concerned that humans might become ill from drinking this water, although she knows that the phages specifically attack bacteria. Why is she concerned?
Question 1 Why have the majority of viruses evolved to bind to a host surface receptor that serves an essential function in the host cell? This is completely accidental. These host receptors are poorly protected by the adaptive immune system, making them an easy target for the virus. O Because proteins that perform essential functions are located only on the surface of the host cell. O Host surface receptors that are essential for the host will always be expressed and present on the host.
You are studying a new retrovirus. The viral protein (X) appears to play a role in the export of the viral genomes to the cytoplasm. Protein X brings viral DNA to the cytoplasm and returns back to the nucleus after genome export is complete. Researchers have developed a new drug for the virus. Following treatment with the new drug, the viral protein stays in the nucleus and cannot export the viral genomes. What is the most plausible and logical function of the drug? Use your knowledge of nuclear transport to answer this question. O A. The drug inhibits the binding of the viral protein and the viral genomes to the import receptor. B. The drug inhibits the binding of Ran-GTP to the nuclear export receptor in nucleus. C. The drug promotes the Ran GAP activity. D. The drug blocks the NLS on the viral protein.
Which of the following is a known characteristic that can lead to genetic changes in some viruses? Operons in the viral genome can undergo homologous recombination, leading to genetic rearrangements. Reassortment of segmented genomes can occur if a host cell is co-infected with two different viral strains. RNA polymerases used in replication of the viral genome have proofreading capability. Environmental conditions can trigger the SOS response, which triggers mutations in the viral genome.
What advantageous uses have viruses been shown to have? The activities of viral genes mimic those of host genes so they are useful for studying mechanisms of DNA replication and gene expression in their much more complex hosts. O Bacteria-killing viruses may play an increasing role in the war against bacterial pathogens. O All are correct. They can be used as a means to introduce foreign genes into human cells, which may serve as a basis for treatment of human diseases by gene therapy. O Insect-killing viruses may play an increasing role in the war against insect pests.
O O O A new virus is discovered. Its RNA genome encodes several proteins, including a reverse transcriptase enzyme. What can you conclude about replication of this virus? Its replication involves a double-stranded RNA intermediate Its replication involves a DNA copy of its genome Its replication depends entirely on cellular enzymes Its replication is entirely independent of cellular enzymes 00 A deficiency in Base Excision Repair (BER) would primarily sensitize you to mutations caused by radiation, X-rays O Chemicals in smoke, and UV radiation O Unavoidable, spontaneously occurring DNA damage
A virus is a small infectious agent that multiplies solely inside an organism's live cells. It does this by infiltrating the host cell with its genetic material (RNA) and integrating it with the host genome. Explain in detail how organisms remove viral gene expression. How does this technique work to keep viruses at bay?
Which of the following represent why lysogeny is advantageous to a bacteriophage? It allows the bacteriophage to infect cells it would not normally infect It speeds up the viral infection cycle The genetic material of the bacteriophage is replicated many times over that seen in a lytic phage It enables the bacteriophage to take over the cell and produce a fewer number of viruses that can then burst out and infect other nearby cells It allows the bacteriophage to destroy the host cell's DNA
