Why is conservation biology relevant to human coronavirus diseases? Because habitat destruction increases the transmission of zoonotic diseases from animals to humans. Because habitat destruction makes bats more aggressive Because habitat destruction increases the severity of coronavirus infections in bats. Because habitat destruction increases the rate at which coronaviruses mutate. Because habitat destruction increases the abundance of bat species.

How is a provirus related to disease symptoms? A-the provirus continually lyses cells, causing disease symptoms B-the provirus periodically shifts to a lytic cycle, causing disease symptoms C-the provirus can produce endospores during unfavorable times D-the provirus secretes powerful toxins that make the host ill
Why do scientists worry more about new strains of viruses like influenza and coronviruses as potential causes of deadly human pandemics, but they never talk about the next big Herpesvirus strain deadly pandemic? Which of the statements below helps partially answer that? Influenza and CoV are RNA viruses which results in having higher mutation rates -- they can more easily jump between host species. Herpesviruses are dsDNA viruses and usually very host specific. Only humans get Herpesviruses, while animals can get Influenza viruses and Coronaviruses. dsDNA viruses aren't very transmissible and even when they are, they're not deadly. We already have effective vaccines for Herpes. Influenza and CoV have more genes, more complex gene expression, and can undergo genetic recombination or reassortment, while Herpesviruses are more limited.
Why is the Nipah virus a great illustration of a zoonotic disease? A. Because it's carried by fruit bats across America but it's not even noticed by the American people. B. Because it's carried by cats across Asia and easily spills over into humans. C. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia but almost never spills over into humans. D. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia and easily spills over into humans.
Which one of the following is not true for virus, obligate intracellular parasites? Viruses cannot generate energy outside of cells Viruses cannot synthesize proteins outside of cells Enveloped viruses require host cell membrane to obtain their envelopes Viruses must degrade host cell DNA in order to obtain nucleotides
What would happen if the polydnavirus mutated and no longer depressed the caterpillar’s immune defenses?
Figure 17.6 Influenza virus is packaged in a viral envelope, which fuses with the plasma membrane. This way, the virus can exit the host cell without killing it. What advantage does the virus gain by keeping the host cell alive?
Arrange the following list into the correct sequence for part of the cycle of a retrovirus: 1. dsDNA integrated into host DNA 2.viral proteins synthesized on host ribosomes 3. viral DNA uses host enzymes to transcribe viral RNA 4. reverse transcriptase catalyzes synthesis of ssDNA 5. synthesis of second DNA strand (a) 5, 2, 1, 3, 4 (b) 5, 2, 3, 4, 1 (c) 4, 5, 1, 3, 2 (d) 4, 1, 2, 3, 5 (e) 2, 1, 3, 4, 5
Figure 17.5 Which of the following statements about virus structure is true? a. All viruses are encased in a viral membrane. b. The capsomere is made up of small protein subunits called capsids. c. DNA is the genetic material in all viruses. d. Glycoproteins help the virus attach to the host cell.
Why is the Nipah virus a great illustration of a zoonotic disease? A. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia but almost never spills over into humans. B. Because it's carried by cats across Asia and easily spills over into humans. C. Because it's carried by fruit bats across Asia and easily spills over into humans. D.

How do retrovirus assemble new viral progeny? a. Viral RNA is copied into DNA, then integated into the host genome and transcribed ans translated b.Viral DNA is copied into RNA, then integated into the host genome and transcribed and translated c. Retroviruses use the same machinery as prokaryotes and follow the same process to make RNA d. Retroviruses have an RNA genome instead of DNA but use all of the same enzymes as eukaryotes
viruses and human health is false? a- in many diseases caused by viruses, the virus attacks cells as it reproduces b- many viral diseases can be controlled through vaccinations c- some viruses can remain dormant in the body for years before disease symptoms appear d- most viral infections are difficult to treat, but they can be finally destroyed by antibiotics
