mid ch 5 Flashcards
first proposed the term virus
Louis Pasteur
External of virus coating
Capsid
Envelope
If no envelope, called
naked virus
The capsid and the nucleic acid together are called the
nucleocapsid
Fully formed virus that is able to establish an infection in a
host cell-
virion
take a bit of the host cell membrane
in the form of an envelope
Enveloped viruses
- the sum total of the genetic information
carried by an organism
Genome
contain single-stranded DNA
Parvoviruses
contain double-stranded RNA
Reoviruses
Enzyme Found in nucleocapsid
Polymerases
Enzayme Found in envelope
Hemagglutinin
- virus-induced damage to the
cell that alters its microscopic appearance
Cytopathic effects
compacted masses of viruses
or damaged cell organelles
Inclusion bodies
- fusion of cells
Synctia
– oncogenic, cancer causing
(oncoviruses)
Tranformation
special DNA phages that undergo
adsorption and penetration but are not replicated or released immediately
Temperate phages
: the cell’s progeny will also have the temperate phage DNA
Lysogeny
: when a bacterium acquires a new
trait from its temperate phage
Lysogenic conversion
assays (used tovisualize the presence of virus)
Plaque
Tissue culture used for
eukaryotes
