🗑
Do viruses have DNA and RNA?   no - one or the other, never both  
🗑
Where do viruses replicate?   in a host cell - "parasites"  
🗑
What is one of the hallmarks of DNA viruses?   latent or chronic infection - Herpe's viruses -dormancy  
🗑
Viruses classified by   host or tissue affinity, DNA or RNA one, geographic location where discovered, body site from first location, clinical symptoms, size, morphology or others  
🗑
What is the protein coat in virsuses called?   capsid  
🗑

🗑
microaerophiles   grow in low amounts of O2  
🗑
facultative anaerobes   grow in +/- O2  
🗑
Obiligate anaerobes   require absence of O2  
🗑
mycology   study of fungi

🗑
Are fungi eucaryotic or procaryotic?   eucaryotic  
🗑
hypha   basic unit of structure of mold - transverse cross-walls = septate, no walls = non-septate

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
