Biology II exam #2 Flashcards
Poxviruses
dsDNA; large complex viruses; replicate in the cytoplasm of the host cell.
Herpesviruses
dsDNA; medium to large, enveloped viruses; replicate in the host nucleus
DNA viruses with envelope
poxviruses and herpesviruses
DNA viruses with no envelope
adenoviruses, papovaviruses, and parvoviruses
Adenoviruses
dsDNA; replicate in the host nucleus
papovaviruses
dsDNA
Parvoviruses
ssDNA; some require a helper virus in order to multiply
RNA viruses with envelope
Togaviruses, Orthomyxoviruses, Paramyxoviruses, Rhabdoviruses, Coronaviruses, Flaviviruses, Filoviruses, Bunyaviruses, and Retroviruses
Togaviruses
ssRNA that can serve as mRNA; large diverse group of medium-sized, enveloped viruses; many transmitted by arthrpods
Orthomyxoviruses
ssRNA that serves as template for mRNA synthesis; medium-sized viruses that often exhibit projecting spikes
Paramyxoviruses (Measles and Mumps; distemper in dogs)
ssRNA; resemble orthomyxoviruses but somewhat larger
Rhabdoviruses (rabies)
ssRNA
Coronaviruses (COVID)
ssRNA; largest known RNA virus
Flaviviruses (Virus that causes liver failure)
ssRNA
Filoviruses
ssRNA
Retroviruses (AIDS)
ssRNA; viruses that contain reverse transcriptase for transcribing the RNA genome into DNA; two identical molecules of ssRNA
Bunyaviruses
ssRNA
RNA viruses with no envelope
picornaviruses and reoviruses
Piconaviruses
ssRNA that can serve as mRNA; diverse group of small viruses
Reoviruses
dsRNA
coenocyte
Excavates
Stramenopiles
Excavates
