6.2 Replication Flashcards
1
Q
What is often required for a virus to interact with and promote successful entry into a host cell?
A
envelope
2
Q
What is a benefit for the envelope to be derived from the host cell membrane?
A
allows the virus to avoid immune detection
3
Q
What occurs once the nucleocapsid enters the cytoplasm of the host cell?
A
uncoats and released viral genome into the cell
4
Q
For all viruses, when is the genome replicated?
A
after entry and attachment: NEVER before
5
Q
How are new viral proteins produced?
A
using the host cellular machinery
6
Q
How many viral particles can be assembled from a single infected cell?
A
10,000
7
Q
