Chapter 5 pt 2 Flashcards
Viruses are only ___________________ they are only able to reproduce within cells
Obligate intracellular parasite
A virus must bind to a specific receptor on the surface as the 1st step of _____________
Infection
The _______ cycle is an efficient way for a virus to rapidly increase its numbers
Lytic
In the __________ cycle, the prophage gets reproduce everytime the cells gets reproduce & the prologue later gets activated & enters the lytic cycle
Lysogenic
Transduction
When the presence of new DNA codes for a trait that the newly infected host did not previously have
Productive cycle
Is similar to the lytic cycle but doesn’t destroy the host cell (since the virus exits by budding through the host cell membrane)
In the animal virus Lysogenic cycle the dormant form of the viral genome is called a _____________
Provirus
+ RNA Viruses
Must encode RNA - dependent RNA poly
A piece of single stranded viral RNA which serves as mRNA is called _____________ & as soon as the _____________ genome is in the host cell, the host ribosome begins to translate it which creates a viral protein (the viral genome acts directly as mRNA )
+ RNA
- RNA Viruses
Must carry RNA dependent RNA poy ( & encode it too)
The genome of - RNA virus is ________________ to the piece of RNA that encodes viral proteins (the genome of a L - ) RNA virus is the template for viral mRNA production)
Complementary
Retroviruses must encode ______________
Reverse transcriptase
_________________ make DNA from RNA through the enzyme reverse transcriptase
Retrovirsues (ex. HIV)
________________ DNA viruses often encode enzymes required for dNTP synthesis & DNA replication involved in DNA synthesis
Double-stranded DNA
_________ are responsible for a class of diseases in mammals referred to as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs)
