Q

DNA phase

A

-retroviruses
-backwards central dogma

17
Q

segmented viruses

A

-genome is on more than one DNA strand or segment
-one segment = one protein

18
Q

classification of viruses

A

international committee for taxonomy of viruses

19
Q

international committee for taxonomy of viruses

A

-3 orders
-families
-genus
-speies

20
Q

orders

A

end in -viralis

21
Q

families

A

end in -viridae

22
Q

genus

A

squish virus as the suffix

23
Q

species

A

virus is separate word

24
Q

Baltimore classification system of viruses

A

-seven different classes
-what is genome and how it makes mRNA

25
replication cycle of an animal virus
-adsorption -penetration -uncoating -synthesis -assembly -release **takes 8-40 hours
26
Adsorption
-virus attach to its host by binding to specific cell receptors -specific between protein and virus
27
tropism
can only infect cells with that specific receptor (immunoglobin family)
28
tropism is dictated by
-1st interaction between virus and host cell
29
penetration and uncoating (2 methods)
-method 1: virus is elongated and enclosed in a vesicle via clathrate -method 2: direct fusion of viral envelope with host cell membrane
30
method 2 only
only happens in enveloped viruses bc its cell mem can infuse into host cell mem
31
DNA viruses stay in
nucleus
32
RNA viruses stay in
cytoplasm
33
negative sense RNA virus problem
-needs to make mRNA so needs to bring an RNA dependent RNA polymerase
