Question
Answer
Place the following in the most likely order for biosynthesis: 1. Phage lysozyme 2. mRNA 3. DNA 4. viral proteins 5. DNA polymerase   2,5,3,4,1  
🗑
The molecule serving as mRNA can be incorporated in the newly synthesized virus capsids of all the following except:   -Strand RNA rhabdoviruses  
🗑
A virus with RNA-dependent RNA polymerase:   Synthesizes double-stranded RNA from an RNA template.  
🗑
Which of the following would be the first step in the biosynthesis of a virus with reverse transcriptase?   A complementary strand of DNA must be synthesized from an RNA template  
🗑
An example of lysogeny in animals could be:   Latent viral infections  
🗑
The ability of a virus to infect an organism is regulated by:   the host species, the type of cells, the availability of an attachment site, and cell factors necessary for viral replication  
🗑
Place the following in the order in which they are found in a host cell: 1. capsid proteins 2. infective phage particles 3. phage nucleic acid   3, 1, 2  
🗑
Which of the following does not initiate DNA synthesis?   A single stranded RNA virus (Togaviridae)  
🗑
A viral species is not defined on the basis of the disease symptoms it causes. The best example of this is:   Hepatitis  
🗑
In which of the following ways do viruses differ from bacteria?   Viruses are not composed of cells.  
🗑
Which of the following provides the most significant support for the idea that viruses are nonliving chemicals?   They cannot reproduce themselves outside of a host.  
🗑
Which of the following is not true about spikes?   They are used for penetration.  
🗑
Which of the following is not used as a criterion to classify viruses?   Biochemical tests  
🗑
Which of the following is not a method of culturing viruses?   In culture media  
🗑
A clear area against a confluent "lawn" of bacteria is called a   Plaque  
🗑
An infectious protein is a   Prion  
🗑
An envelope is acquired during which of the following steps?   Release  
🗑
Host Range   refers to the spectrum of host cells in which a virus can multiply  
🗑
Host Range is determined by:   the specific attachment site on the host cell's surface and the availbility of host cellular factors

🗑
In relation to protein in viruses ranges from about 1% to about 50%.   The porportion of nucleic acid.  
🗑
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called:   capsid  
🗑
Some envelopes are covered with carbohydrate-protein complexes called   Spikes  
🗑
resemble long rods, and their capsids are hollow cylinders surrounding the nucleic acid   Helical viruses - for example Ebola virus  
🗑
