Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The latent phase of the viral genome in host cell, and it is regarded safe to cell.
Introduction:
The viruses are obligate organisms that show signs of life only inside a host. Outside the host, they either die or do not show any sign of life. They invade the host cell to carry out their function like replication. A particular virus infects a particular host cell. The invaded host cell acts as machinery for the viruses. Depending upon the state of the virus, they can carry out either lytic cycle or lysogenic cycle.

Which of the following proteins would you expect a mutation in for a virus to infect a new host cell?
RNA Dependent RNA polymerase/Reverse Transcriptase/DNA polymerase/etc.
Hemagglutinin/Glycoprotein/GP120/etc.
Fusion protein
Capsid/Nucleocapsid proteins
Why? What is that protein responsible for?
As a general rule, viruses are not considered to be alive based on several reasons. One such reason is that some viruses use RNA as their genetic material instead of DNA. Which of the five biological themes does this violate? Briefly explain why.
Viruses with reverse transcriptase enzyme can make a DNA copy out of its RNA genome. What
implications can this capability do in health hazards?

- How can DNA/RNA viruses trigger cancer by inserting into infected cells chromosomes for a particular Virus ? Mechanism of action of virus genomearrow_forwardViruses are made up of the same biomolecules as cellular organisms (DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, etc.), which are synthesized through enzymatic dehydration reactions from building blocks and disassembled by enzymatic hydrolysis. 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 Which of the following events mostly involves hydrolysis reaction after the virus infects…arrow_forwardAfter a positive strand RNA virus ( Such as Coronaviruses) enters the host cell, the RNA is translated by ribosomes to create proteins associated with the virus (Such as, for example, the surface antigens like E and Spike proteins). How then, would the genetic material itself be replicated to be incorporated into the new viruses?.arrow_forward
- The relative amounts of each nitrogenous base are tabulated here for four different viruses. For each virus listed in the following table, indicate whether its genetic material is DNA or RNA and whether it is single stranded or double stranded. Explain your reasoning.

Would this virus still be considered infectious? Why or why not? Please explain in detail.arrow_forwardAssume you isolate a single stranded (+) RNA virus. When you examine the proteins in the virus, you find that it does NOT contain replicase enzymes within its capsid. Which of the following is true? This virus must have a gene that encodes replicase. This virus will not be able to enter a host cell. Its genome cannot be translated (the process of translation) by the host cell ribosomes. A DNA copy of the viral genome has to be made before viral genes are expressed. This virus must lack surface antigens.arrow_forward
- Throughout history there are many different types of virus that have caused impacts both small and large. Is there a possibility a virus could be considered a "good virus"? Please provide an argument for both yes and no with the use of a proper example, facts and conceptual information.arrow_forwardImagine that a researcher discovers a new type of virus. This virus contains single‑stranded RNA with "negative" sense. Consider the image. Which statement is true regarding this virus? According to the Baltimore system, this virus would be classified as a type V virus. Based on the presence of single‑stranded RNA, this virus is likely similar to HIV. According to the Baltimore system, this virus would be classified as a type IV virus. This virus must use reverse transcriptase to produce mRNA.arrow_forwardSome viral genomes, composed of single-stranded RNA, act as mRNA. What advantage might these viruses have over other kinds of viruses?arrow_forward
