LM3 Flashcards
Release of the viral genome during replication is refered to as
uncoating
Define fungi
eukaryotes that can be single celled or mycelial:
Species that grow as unicellular organisms are commonly termed yeasts while those that form branched hyphae are termed filamentous
Mycorrhiza is a term used to describe a group of fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants. In the mycorrhizal relationship with trees:
form a sheath around the outer root cells termed a hartig net
Viruses
infect animal cells by binding to receptors and inducing endocytosis:
Attachment (adsorption) to the cell surface is mediate by receptors and the virus enters the cell by enodocytosis.
What is a capsid
the name for the complete virus coat or shell
Filamentous fungi:
Have hyphae that show polarised growth at the tips
spread across surfaces by directing growth to the hyphal tip
Adenoviruses have __ axes of symmetry
3; fold, 3 fold and 5 fold symmetry
