Concept explainers

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Question

1. What is fundamentally different about the way
viruses reproduce compared to other cellular forms

and Animal Viruses. Use the recorded lecture to find
the answers. Also include two example
bacteriophages and two examples of animal viruses.

3. Imagine that you are a researcher at a
pharmaceutical company charged with developing
new drugs against human RNA viral pathogens.
Describe at least two drugs targets you might|
pursue and why you feel that the drugs would not
harm the patient.
