Concept explainers
A disgruntled scholar recently tried to infect their instructor with what appeared the GVV synthetically derived.
Symptoms of infection include occasional random outbursts and occasionally the urge to randomly chuck bottles of condiments when things aren't going your way. None of those symptoms are present yet in the instructor, but the instructor is nonetheless worried based on the
The instructor decides to investigate the genome of this unknown virus to confirm if they should be worried and be on the lookout for symptoms.
Which method would be most appropriate to determine the virus genome to see if it in fact is an infectious variant of GVV?
gel electrophoresis
reverse genetics
the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
whole genome shotgun sequencing
metagenomics
cloning

- Reverse transcriptase would most likely be inside which virus? a DNA-based lytic virus an RNA-based lysogenic virus an RNA-based lytic virus a DNA-based lysogenic virusarrow_forwardThe advantage of a ____________ sense genome is that RDRP doesn’t need to be carried in the virion for the virus to successfully infect a new cell. The advantage of a ________________ sense genome is that it gives the virus greater ability to differentially regulate its genesarrow_forwardReverse transcriptase is an error prone DNA polymerase. Describe the role of reverse transcriptase in viral propagation and how having an error-prone enzyme might make it challenging to have a vaccinearrow_forward
