Final Exam: Virus Flashcards
______ distinct biological entities belonging to the infectious agents group of microbial world
Viruses
____ Best described as obligate intracellular parasites
- provide example of “cellular hijackers”
Viruses
______ invade/enter host cells and use the metabolic machine and resources of the host cells to make more copies of themselves.
- host all as hostage
- uses and abuse host cellulor resources
Viruses
______ has 2 common features, 1. all enter + replicate inside to make more copies of themselves
Viruses
______ has 2 common features, 2. all exit and are shedded to betransmitted into new host
Viruses
______ particles with a protein coat and genetic material; protein coat call capsids that protects genetic material
viruses
______ genetic material (aka genome) is ether DNA or RNA (never both) packaged inside with limited codin. Is the reasons why its so dependent on host cells for replication.
Viruses
Viruses _____ is made of subunit capsomers/capsomeres
capsids
Virus have _______ viral proteins which includes structral proteins and non structural proteins which includes enzymes unique to virus and regulator protein.
Genome encodes
influenza virus, common cold virus and zikka virus which is transmitted by mosquitos are _______.
RNA genome
______ human Papillone virus (HPV) are herpes family
DNA Virus
DNA virus of ______ are cold sores above the waist.
herpes simplex I (HSV-I)
DNA Virus of _______ is gential herpes, below the waist
Herpes simplex II (HSV-II)
DNA Virus of ______ is only herpes family member that is aerosole transmitted that causes 2 disease in some individual at two different times.
- Young - Chicken pox (doesnt belong to pox family)
- later in life - Causes shingles (zoster)
varicellazoster virus
Virus has ______ which makes virus particle ( interior and exterior) functions in one of the following ways:
- i. attachment
- ii. protecting viral nucleic acid
- iii. modification of host cell
Structural proteins
_______ leads to cancerous, is fusion of infection cell with neighboring non infected cells. infected cells cancerous (unregulated growth and division of infected cells).
modification of host cell
________ unique and aren’t found inside host cell.
Viral enzymes:
______ dependent RNA polymase compare to DNA dependent, RNA polmerase of host cell
RNA
_______ reverse transcription to DNA nucleotid sequence following infection whch integrate the product of reverse transcription into host genomic DNA within 48-72 hours of infection.
viral RNA genome
______: varied functions, some are used to selectively turn on / off viral gene expression
. Viral regulatory proteins
________ others, used to take over host cell and convert into a efficient “factory” for virus production; modulate host defense. infected host cell, theyre not the target or thre not under the radar of the defense cell.
viral regulatory proteins
______ infect all life forms and are responsible for a variety of infectious diseases; can profoundly alter host cell behavior. it can cause the cell to be tumor or cancerous.
virus
We are a reservoir of ___1___ ; they set up residence in gut, lungs, liver.
- our gut is loaded with bacteria harboring their own blend of ___1___
- every one of our cell is infected
- we carry viral genome as part of our own genetic material
1.viruses
_______ plays role in placenta devolop and fusion. they dont make particular
HERV (human endogenous retroviral sequences)
______ transplant into human
PERV (pigs/porcine family)
Porcine endogenous retrovirus genome
____ and ____ recombine to form/evolve a novel virus particle. meaning new virus human never experince (way in the future)
PERV and HERV
8% of our ____ contains these relics of ancient retroviruses
DNA
for virus, ______ can cross species barrier and they do so constantly such as zonotic viruses and rabies virus
viral inection
