Problem Set
CONCEPT CHECK 2.5
TMV is an RNA-containing virus. Mixing RNA from TMV strain A with coat protein from strain B results in infectious virus particles. How were these particles formed without outside information? Would these hybrid viruses infect the normal host of strain A or strain B?

Group of answer choices The genomes are converted from RNA to cDNA using reverse transcriptase, and then the cDNA is sequenced. The genomes are fragmented, the DNA fragments are sequenced by any number of methods, and the sequences assembled to provide the original complete genome. Sanger dideoxy sequencing is never used – instead, only nanopore sequencing is used. The assembled sequences must have all gaps closed if the genome is to be useful for the research community.arrow_forward
