| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cytomegioviruses | Inhabit salivary glands, intestinal tract, liver, lungs, and other organs |
| Papillomaviruses | Causes warts on the skin |
| Specificity | Refers to types of cells a virus may successfully infect |
| Host Range | Refers to the spectrum of hosts that a virus may infect |
| Smallest Virus | Enteroviruses |
| Largest Virus | Orthopoxviruses |
| Virion | a complete virus particle a nucleic acid covered by a capsid it may or may not have an envelope |
| Envelope Virus | A lipid bilayer membrane outside the capsid of a virus |
| Naked Virus | a viral capsid and genome form a nucleocapsid |
| Capsid | The protein coation of a virus, which protects the nucleic acid core from the environment and , usually determines the shape of the virus |

| Developing an organized usable system has many problems. Two major problems are; | 1. What constitutues a species. 2. what constitutes a kingdom or a domain |
| Dichotomous Key | Uses paired statements providing an either - or choice. Only one statemnet can be true each statement sends on to another pair untill organism is identified |

| Carolus Linnaeus | founded the science of taxonomy in the 18th century |
| What is the basic principle of taxonomy? | Members of high level taxonomic groups share fewer characteristics than do members of lower level taxonomic groups |
| Taxon | provides an orderly basis for naming of organismsas well as placing them in a category |
| taxonomy | science of classification |
| classification | systematic arrangement into groups or categories according to established criteria |
