Chapter 16, Problem 5WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
If a researcher put HPV (human papillomavirus) and T cells in the same petri dish then which step of HPV replication would fail?
Concept introduction:
HPV stands for Human papillomavirus that leads to human papillomavirus infection. The infection results in precancerous lesion or warts. This symptom increases the chances of cancer of mouth, cervix, penis, vulva, throat, vagina or anus. The typical spread of the virus is from skin-to-skin contact, during sexual mating, by smoking or with poor immune system.

Viruses are also a type of microbe, yet theyare not cells. Viruses consist of a moleculeof nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) surrounded byprotein. They must enter other organisms’cells and use their molecules and machineryto replicate themselves. Why aren’t antibioticsprescribed for viral infections?
How might a bacteriophage be used to treat a bacterial infection? – this question relates to question # 2. Address specificity. Why can viruses only infect specific cells? Why would the host cell be safe from infection?
After replication at the site of entry, some viruses remain localized, while others disseminate. Which of the following does not determine the outcome?
Group of answer choices
Presence of a lipid membrane on the virion
Whether the virus can cross the basement membrane
Directional release of virus from polarized cells
Establishment of viremia
Transport of virions in immune cells
