Q

viral genetics - Complementation?

A

when 1 of 2 viruses that infect the cell has a mutation that results in a non-functional protein. The nonmutated virus “complements” the mutated one by making a functional protein that serves both viruses

Q

viral genetics - phenotypic mixing?

A

occurs with simultaneous infection of a cell with 2 viruses. Genome of virus A can be partially coated (forming pseudovirion) with the surface proteins of virus B. Type B protein coat determines the tropism (infectivity) of the hybrid virus. However, the progeny from this infection have a type A coat that is encoded by its A genetic material

A

Naked nucleic strand SS- RNA and dsRNA viruses are not infectious, HBV poxvirus and ssDNA
(they require polymerases contained in the complete virus, not parvoviridae)

22

which virus, their naked genome form is infectious

A

Purified nucleic acids of most dsDNA (except poxvirus and HBV) and SS+ RNA viruses are infectious.

Exceptions include herpesvirus, which acquire envelopes from nuclear membrane

27
