Can u help me to explain to me, please? 14.23) All forms of life can have their cells invaded by viruses. When viruses take over plant or animal cells, we call this a viralinfection. Several human infectious diseases, some of which are chronic diseases, are caused by viral infection. Using fullsentences, explain how viruses infect cells and how the infection spreads to other cells in an organism.YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:Viruses infect cells by introducing their DNA or RNA and, in some cases, a few types of enzymes, into the hostcell. This is done in various ways depending on the particular virus. Once the viral DNA or RNA is introducedto the host cell, enzymes, nucleic acids, and amino acids from the host cell are employed to make more viralDNA or viral RNA, and viral proteins. The viral DNA or RNA and viral proteins are reassembled into multiple,new virus particles within the host cell. These new viral particles cause the host cell to burst or release the viralparticles using the exocytosis process. The infection spreads as the new viruses infect other cells.

A scientist discovers a virus encoding a Protein X that degrades a subunit of the elF4F complex. Knowing that this virus transcribes its own mRNAs in the cytoplasm of human cells, why would Protein X be an effective virulence factor?
You are studying RNA viruses and have discovered a new one that grows well in a culture of eukaryotic cells. You know that the virus is a single-stranded RNA virus, but you don’t know if it is plus or minus stranded. Your lab-mate says, “Well, just treat your cell culture with cyclohexamide and see if the virus replicates its genome.” You know that cyclohexamide inhibits protein elongation by binding to eukaryotic ribosomes. What is the basis of your lab-mate’s suggestion?
A major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the presence of a nucleus. What advantages and disadvantages may occur with having a cell’s genome packaged in a nucleus?

Given the following DNA sequence: 5’-ATGCGGCCAAGGTCAGAGTGACA-3’ a) If this DNA strand represents the “Sense Strand” of DNA, what would be the RNA sequence? b) If this DNA strand represents the “Antisense Strand” of DNA, what would be the RNA Sequence? c) What would be the other strand of DNA?
7 Why does incorporation of AZT into viral nucleic acids cause chain termination?
the human immunodeficiency virus HIV uses RNA rather than DNA to encode genetic information. During infection, however, HIV uses an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase to generate double-stranded DNA. Generally speaking, how would the enzyme generate a double strand of DNA from a single strand of RNA?
The base composition of an RNA virus was analyzed and found to be 14.1% A, 14.0% U, 36.2% G, and 35.7% C. Would you conclude that the viral genetic material is single-stranded RNA or doublestranded RNA?
Based on your knowledge of the COVID-19 genome (from question 6), what step(s) in the flow of biological information (DNA to RNA to Protein) are required for an infected human cell to produce a viral protein? Does the virus need access to the nucleus for this to happen?
Viruses are made up of the same biomolecules as cellular organisms (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, etc.). They infect cells and replicate themselves using resources from the host cells. Scientists discovered a previously unknown strain of virus in the tropical Pacific Ocean and it can infect higher-order eukaryotes. Initial analysis revealed that the virus is mainly composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Chemical analysis after complete hydrolysis revealed the following building blocks (by weight): Chemical components Nucleosides Amino acids Lipids, phosphates, and carbohydrates Percentage by weight 20 30 50 Analysis of percentages of nucleosides yielded the following results (by molar ratio): Nucleosides A G T C U Percentage by mole 19 29 19 29 4 Researchers determined that the lipids found in the virus form a bilayer membrane surrounding the virus, and are obtained from the membrane of the host cell during virus maturation and exit from host cell.

A scientist isolates a new species of prokaryote He notes that the specimen is a bacillus with a lipid bilayer and cell wall that stains positive for peptidoglycan. Its circular chromosome replicates from a single origin of replication. Is the specimen most likely an Archaea, a Gram-positive bacterium, or a Gram-negative bacterium? How do you know?
