What does multipartite genomes mean?
genes are located on more than one peice
50
define Multiparticulate?
more than one particle
51
How do viruses get the materials needed for replication?
from the host cell | needs: amino acids, nucleotides, enzymes, cellular structure, and energy from host.
52
What are symptoms of viruses?
``` Dwarfing or stunting mosiaic or mottles ring spots chlorosis leaf rolling flowerbreak ```
53
How do viruses survive outside of hosts?
Some can survive on tools, in soils, or in plant debris
54
How are viruses transmitted between plants? (4)
vectors, mechanical transmission, infected pollen, infected seed
55
What organisms are vectors of viruses?
