ch.6 virus
taxonomy and life cycles(2)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a virus family is reffered to as a | virdae |
| what do you use to classify viruses? | baltimore classifies accroding to genome International classification of disease according to codes for medicine orders |
| how does ICD identify viruses | codes are used for identifying tests, code for insurance, lab bills, mortality statistics, death certificates, confirm diagnosis |
| phage life cycle | DNA viruses replicate in nucleus, RNA replicate in cytoplasm |
| two virus life cycles | lyctic and lysogenic |
| temperment phage | becomes part of host chromosome, replicates and creates progeny virus |
| virulent phages | death to cell by lysis |
| steps of lyctic cycle | attachment, penetration, biosynthesis, maturation (particles assembled), lysis (releases new phages) |
| lysogenic cycle is a | specialized transduction, attachment and penetration |
| outcome of lysogenic cycle is | prophage, integrated phage genome |
| the bacteria that has a prophage is called a | lysogen |
| when the bacterial host is changed, its called | lysogenic conversion |
| induction | excision of viral genome |
| after induction it goes through | lyctic cycle |
| steps of lysogenic cycle | infects, incorporates, divides, prophage DNA passed on, excised from bacteria, goes into lysis |
| Transduction | bacteriophage transfers bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another during sequential infections. |
| Transduction seems to play an important role in | the evolutionary process of bacteria, giving them a mechanism for asexual exchange of genetic information. |
| Generalized transduction occurs when | a random piece of bacterial chromosomal DNA is transferred by the phage during the lytic cycle. |
| Specialized transduction occurs at | the end of the lysogenic cycle, when the prophage is excised and the bacteriophage enters the lytic cycle. Since |
| steps of transduction | viral attachment and penetration, integration, excision, infection, recombination |
