Which RNA viruses are segmented
Reo-
Birna-
Orthomyxo-
Bunya-
Arena-
What is the only diploid virus
Retro-
Which naked DNA virus is susceptible to disenfectants? Why
Adeno-
It is naked but it has pentofibers with receptors that can be broken down by disinfectant
Which type of viruses are most susceptible to disinfectants
Enveloped viruses (so enveloped RNA viruses + adenoviridae)
What type of genomes evolve at the fastest pace
Segmented genomes
What protects viral nucleic acid? What is it composed of?
Capsid
Composed of subunits called capsomeres
May contain enzymes and nn-structural proteins (but no organelles)
Where do DNA viruses replicate
Nucleus
Which DNA virus replicates in cytoplasm
Pox, Asfar
Which naked DNA virus replicates in cytoplasm
none!
Which enveloped DNA virus replicates in cytoplasm
Asfar
Pox
