- 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?arrow_forwardArrange 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, 5arrow_forwardWhich statement is not true of viral replication? A lysogenic cycle kills the host cell There are six basic steps in the viral replication cycle Viral replication does not affect host cell function Newly released virions can infect adjacent cells.arrow_forward
- what is the difference between the DNA virus and RNA virusarrow_forwardIn the virus image below, what is the likely function of the projections seen on the virus particle? They contain the virion's genetic information. Â They prevent the virion from being recognized by the host. Â They contain the enzymes that replicate the virus particle. Â They facilitate attachment of the virion to the host cell.arrow_forwardWhich of the following proteins would you expect a mutation in for a virus to infect a new host cell?
