- What is the term used to describe the genome of a bacterial cell that has been infected by a phage utilizing lysogeny? O 1) nucleocapsid O 2) prophpage O 3) provirus O 4) lysogenome O 5) chromatidarrow_forwardDraw a generic (+)RNA virus replication cycle. For viruses, (+) RNA indicates the genomic RNA can be translated directly. How would this differ from the system you drew in #1? Draw a generic (+) RNA virus replication cycle. Indicate which proteins need to be present for RNA replication and translation. Where would they act? Indicate what sequences or modifications would need to be present on the virus RNA for RNA replication and translation. How might a virus differentiate between RNA to be put into progeny virus particles and RNA to be translated into protein?arrow_forwardThe second step in viral replication is entry. For bacteriophage, entry usually involves: O a) direct entry of the nucleic acid into the cell. Ob) phagocytosis. c) membrane fusion mechanism of entry. d) receptor-mediated endocytosis.arrow_forward
- During the lytic replication cycle of the bacteriophage T4, the phage _________ remains outside the cell while the phage ________ enters the cell. A) capsid protein… tail fibers B) DNA… protein C) envelope… DNA D) enzymes… ribosome E) protein… genetic material F) RNA… capsid proteinarrow_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_forwardWhich process listed below allows genetic material to be transferred from a virus-like particle that lacks genes for its own replication? A) Conjugation of an F+ plasmid B) Gene transfer through a gene transfer agent C) Transduction by a dsDNA phage Mu D) Transformation of a linear piece of DNAarrow_forward
- What does a bacteriophage accomplish with lysogeny? O 1) it allows the bacteriophage to destroy the host cell's DNA. 2) it enables the bacteriophage to take over the cell. O 3) it speeds up the viral infection cycle. 4) it allows the bacteriophage to infect cells it would not normally infect. O 5) the genetic material of the bacteriophage can be passed on to future generations of infected cells.arrow_forwardWhich statement is true of viral replication? A) virus attaches to a specific receptor site on the host-cell membrane. B) Once inside the cell, the viral capsid is degraded, and the viral nucleic acid is released. C) Virus uses the host cell’s machinery to replicate and new virus particles are released. D) All of the abovearrow_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
- Which of the following statements is false about DNA replication? A) Each lagging strand of DNA is started by an RNA primer. B) DNA polymerase joins nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction only. C) The leading strand of DNA is made continuously. D) More than one replication fork is present. E) A replication bubble opens in one direction only.arrow_forwardDouble-stranded RNA viruses, use the following polymerase for genome synthesis: A) viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. B) host cell DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. C) viral DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. D) host cell RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.arrow_forwardOnce in human cells, which of the following statements might best describe how COVID19 replicates? a) Manipulates DNA Polymerase III to create a leading strand replication of the RNA b) Manipulates DNA Polymerase III to create a lagging strand replication of the RNA c) Manipulates Reverse Transcriptase to transcribe RNA sense strand into DNA antisense strand then back d) Manipulates RNA Polymerase II to transcribe RNA sense strand into RNA antisense strand then back e) Manipulates RNA Polymerase III to transcribe ribosomal RNAs for replicationarrow_forward
