all of the following that are true regarding viruses? Oncogenic viruses stimulate uncontrolled host cell divislion. Retroviruses use the enzyme reverse transcriptase to direct the production of DNA from a single stranded RNA genome. Animal viruses can be grown in tissue cultures, embryonated eggs, and live animal hosts. The shape of a virus may be determined by elther its capsid or its envelope. Like bacteriophages, when animal viruses enter host cells, only their genomes enter while their capsids remain outside of their host cells Antiviral drugs exist that target all stages of viral replication except the production of viral nucleic acids D00000

One of the first and most important targets for drugs to fight infection with HIV (a retrovirus) is the reverse transcriptase enzyme. Why?
The first electron micrograph of a virus (tobacco mosaic virus) was produced in 1939. Before that time, how did scientists know that viruses existed if they could not see them? (Hint: Early scientists called viruses “filterable agents.”)
Which statement is true of viroids? They are single-stranded RNA particles They reproduce only outside of the cell They produce proteins They affect both plants and animals.
Which statement is true of viral replication? In the process of apoptosis, the cell survives During attachment, the virus attaches at specific sites on the cell surface The viral capsid helps the host cell produce more copies of the viral genome mRNA works outside of the host cell to produce enzymes and proteins.
Ch 19 – Viruses and Prions Describe the main parts of a virus. Why are viruses called parasites? Describe the lytic cycle of a virus. Describe the lysogenic cycle of a virus. What is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle of a virus? What are vaccines? Define the words “Emerging Virus” and “Pandemic”. Give examples of human diseases caused by viruses. What is a prion and viron? Are prion and virons viruses? Give examples of human or animal diseases caused by prions and what organisms are affected. Book: Biology (Campbell) 11 edition Urry. Cain.

6. Describe the key contributors to and consequences of viral genome evolution, and state why RNA viruses evolve faster than DNA viruses.
2. Briefly describe the replication of Adenoviruses, Filoviruses, Picornaviruses, and Retroviruses viral families. This description should include the cell receptors (surface markers) they target and the methods by which new virus particles are released from infected cells.
6. Give an example of a viral diagnostic method that detects viral nucleic acid and one that detects viral protein with explanation
7. Does the fact that viruses can form crystals imply that viruses might be alive?
3a. A virus that typically forms an envelope is now being prevented from budding out of the host cell. Would this virus still be considered infectious? Why or why not? Please explain in detail.
3) Discuss the characteristics of retroviruses. How do they act? How is their action different from normal transcription? Give examples of retroviruses.
14During the multiplication of a bacteriophage in its host cell, the specific viral growth phase characterized by non-detection of the virus is known as a. Burst time b. Inoculation c. Eclipse d. Capsid growth
