Question | Answer |
Plus strand RNA viruses: | Sequence of nucleotides in genomic RNA = sequence of nucleotides in viral mRNA |
Minus strand RNA viruses: | Sequence of nucleotides in genomic RNA complimentary to viral mRNA |
Segmented genomes: | Virion contains >1 UNIQUE RNA |
Viral multiplication | Mechanism used depends on viral structure and genome |
Viral multiplication steps | Attachment to host cell Entry Uncoating (may or may not happen) Synthesis Assembly Release |
Attachment (adsorption): | Specific receptor attachment |
Receptor determines | Host preference |
Viral entry and uncoating | Entire genome or nucleocapsid |
Viral entry and uncoating varies between | Naked or enveloped viruses |
Four methods of viral entry and uncoating | Fusion of viral envelope w host cell Endocytosis in vesicle; endosome aids in viral uncoating Injection of nucleic acid Direct penetration of naked virus |
Lytic cycle | Phage life cycle that culminates with host cell bursting, releasing virions |
Virulent phage | Phage that lyse their host during reproductive cycle |
Receptor sites: specific surface structures | On host to which viruses attach |
Receptor site: specific for | Each virus |
Receptor sites can be | Proteins, lipopolysaccharides, techoic acids, pilli, etc |
