1. What extra step need to be taken after collecting samples of many viruses before PCR can be performed? What enzyme will accomplish the extra step?
Viruses: a. Describe the structure and composition of viruses. What are three reasons that they are different from cellular organisms? b. Describe what a lysogenic bacteriophage is and how it is different from a lytic bacteriophage. c. Describe what is similar and different about the lifecycle of a non-enveloped DNA animal virus compared to an enveloped animal retrovirus.
computer applications can be used to translate viral genomic sequence just as you did manually, however computer applications cannot tell you the meaning or significance of mutation. based on your experience what might be a disadvantage in using computer applications to compare new strains of the virus that causes COVID19. please asap dont copy from any other site i already have that answer
briefly explain the situation below. Larger viruses usually have a double-stranded genome, whereas small viruses typically have a single-stranded genome. What reasonable explanation can you offer for this observation?
A" is a retrovirus. It can integrate DNA into random sites of human genome. Another virus "B" can integrate DNA at a specific site of human genome. Which one of these viruses would make a better vector for gene therapy? Briefly explain.
Many virologists note that viruses which have a genome made up of RNA will tend to evolve faster than those viruses whose genome is made up of double-stranded DNA. What do you know about how RNA polymerase (such as the primase) replicates nucleotide sequences compared to how DNA polymerases copy DNA that might help explain this difference?
1.Discuss how PCR may be used for the detection of disease-causing pathogens in a population during the COVID Pandemic. For example: it may be used to check if a patient has a COVID virus infection. 2. Discuss how the cloning and expression of certain genes allows for massive production of the desired product. For Example: the cloning and expression of insulin in bacteria allows for the mass production of this necessary protein for use by diabetic patients.
1. What makes CRISP particularly useful compared to other genetic engineering techniques? A. CRISPR can add DNA to multiple cells at the same time B. CRISPR works better in bacteria C. CRISPR can target one specific area of DNA to cut D. CRISP is capable of transporting DNA through the cell walls of plants 2. MOST viruses are capable of infecting A. many different species B. many cell types in the same species C. only specific cell types that have a particular receptor
3b. You were able to obtain the RNA of the influenza virus. If you injected this into a susceptible host cell could this RNA alone cause a lytic infection? Please explain why or why not with proper reasoning.
