C. Viral Structure Genome Flashcards
1
Q
genome
A
genetic material of cell or virus. all cells have genome made of dsDNA
2
Q
DNA viruses
A
most have a dsDNA genome. only one family has ssDNA genome
3
Q
RNA viruses
A
most have ssRNA genome. RNE either -ive or +ive strand RNA
4
Q
+ive strand RNA contains
A
info for translation. mRNA is +ive strand RNA
5
Q
-ive strand RNA is
A
complimentary to +ive strand RNA meaning cannot be translated
6
Q
dsDNA is composed of
A
a +ive and -ive strand RNA
7
Q
how is mRNA related to -ive strand DNA
A
+ive strand RNA (mRNA) is complimentary to -ive strand DNA
8
Q
Retroviradae is the only family of viruses w/
A
a diploid genome. have 2 copies of the same +ive strand RNA
9
Q
all -ive strand RNA viruses have a
A
helical capsid
10
Q
some RNA viruses have a
A
segmented genome
