Micro Unit 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| host range | exact fit with specific host molecule, range of hosts t can infect is limited |
| capsomeres | subunits that build hollow disk which holds n. acid. |
| where do retroviruses replicate? | cytoplasm |
| helical capsi | simpler and flexible. |
| complex capsid | has multiple proteins and is not symmetrical |
| double stranded DNA viral genomes | poxvirus, adenovirus, herpes. |
| double stranded RNA | retrovirus |
| single stranded DNA | parvovirus |
| single stranded RNA | polio virus, influenza, HIV, Hep B |
| viral membrane aka envelope | derived from host cell, forms by budding, not found in all viruses, |
| where are viral enzymes found | nucleocapsid |
| viral membrane | reverse transcriptase |
| adsorption | specific attachment to receptors |
| penetration | entry to viral geonome |
| uncoating | release of the viral enzyme |
| synthesis | new viral products formed |
| assembly | new viruses made in the cell |
| release | often causes the host to lyse |
| temperate viruses | adsoprtion and penetration immediately, but do not replicate |
