Virus Replication Review

Which of the following characteristics is shared by viruses and living cells? Both viruses and living cells –

• have a nucleus, as well as a cell wall.

• contain nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA.

• can replicate independently of a host cell.

• use organelles to perform life functions.

Cells differ from viruses in that only cells -

• use genetic material.

• are microscopic structures.

• contain cytoplasm.

• have protective covering.

In what way is the lysogenic cycle different from the lytic cycle?

• The virus recognizes and attaches to host cell.

• The host cell is not destroyed immediately.

• Viral DNA is replicated along with host DNA.

• The virus injects its DNA into the host cell.

A bacteriophage virus causes infection in bacteria by injecting which of the following?

• DNA

• Hormones

• Proteins

• Lipids

Which of the following characteristics is shared by viruses and living cells? Both viruses and living cells –

• have a nucleus, as well as a cell wall.

• contain nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA.

• can replicate independently of a host cell.

• use organelles to perform life functions.

in the Lytic cycle, the first step of a viral infection is to ​ (a)   , the second step is to then​ (b)   ​ .The third step will then be to ​ ​ (c)   the fourth step will be to ​ (d)   The fifth and final step is to ​ (e)  

• Land on the surface proteins
• inject its genetic material
• swim to nucleus, begin production of viral DNA
• produce copies of virus at rapid rate
• lyse the cell, have virus swim to other cells
• penetrate cell
• produce copies of virus at slow rate
• swim to mitochondria, Producing DNA
• Inject every part of virus
• cause cell to feed on other cells

What does a host cell provide for a virus?

• A source of thermal energy

• Protection from the environment.

• Mechanisms for genetic replication.

• Large molecules as a food source.

All of the following are steps in the process of viral replication EXCEPT –

• the virus incorporates its genetic material into host DNA.

• the virus uses host cell to assemble more virus particles.

• the host cell replicates viral genetic material with its own.

• the host cell generates antibodies to a viral infestation.

A virus that causes intestinal dysfunction cannot attack respiratory cells because -

• it has no method to enter the respiratory system.

• the respiratory tract is protected by a mucus membrane.

• proteins on the virus do not recognize the respiratory cell.

• respiratory cells are equipped to destroy all entering viruses.
