ch.6 virus
life cycle continued (3)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| life cycle of eukaryotes | same as bacteria, attachment, penetration, biosynthesis, maturation, and release (see |
| tissue tropism. | most viruses only infect certain types of cells within tissues. |
| animal viruses enter through | endocytosis (engulfment by the host cell) or through membrane fusion (viral envelope with the host cell membrane). |
| viral mRNA is used to make | viral proteins |
| once the viral proteins are made they are | released into the extracellular fluid, the cell is not killed, makes more virus |
| nucleic acid biosynthesis normal flow | dsDNA |
| what Nucleic acid biosynthesis makes viral proteins? | ssRNA |
| What is the viral polymerase? | RdRp |
| retrovirus | +ssRNA viruses with alternative mechanism for viral nuclic acid synthesis |
| reverse transcriptase | special enzyme with capsid that make complementary ssdna using +ssdna as template made into dsdna and become permanant part of host |
| provirus | integrated viral genome, chronic infection, no excision after splicing, example, HIV |
| persistant infections, that can remain silent | chicken pox (varcilla), herpes, epstein barr |
| chronic viruses | hiv, hep C |
