Viruse Flashcards
Introduction
Virus —- RNA + protein ✔️
Virion — RNA + no protein ❎
Prion — only protein ☑️
-Virus are intracellular parasite
-they take over the machinery
-non-living
- virus ( DNA 🧬 / RNA )
- non cellular
- reproduce only in living cells
- study of virus — virology
- obligate parasite ( depends on host )
- too small to be seen under simple microscope 🔬
Virus range in size from ?
20 nm - 250 nnm ( stb )
Who modified Whittaker scheme ?
L.margulis and k Schwartz
What are viriods ??
_Complete mature infectious particle ( ss RNA )
_Extra cellular
_Without protein coat
_ infect plants 🌵☘️
_disrupt the metabolism and stunt the growth
What are prions ??
_Only protein that cause infection
_ misfolded form of protein
_ caused brain degenerative disease i.e madcow disease
Virus size= prion size > Viriod
What are homologous organisms?
Origin —- same
Function — different
