In retroviruses, transcription of the provirus: A) converts viral RNA into viral DNA B) does not result in production of viral protein components C) is done by reverse transcriptase D) represents replication of viral genome/nucleic acid

Some viral genomes, composed of single-stranded RNA, act as mRNA. What advantage might these viruses have over other kinds of viruses?

What are the structural components of a virus?

To infect their specific host cells, viruses go through these chronological steps EXCEPT a.   Release of progeny viruses   b.   Absorption and penetration of the viral particles   c.   Uncoating of the nucleic acid of the viral particles   d.   Synthesis and assembly of viral particle components

List three differences between the structure of HIV and the virus that causes influenza.  For one of these differences, explain how the STRUCTURE is key to the FUNCTION of the virus.

Describe the lysogenic pathway of a virus.  How different is it from the lytic pathway?

Q1

Define the terms "latency" and "lysogeny" as they refer to viruses. Describe at least TWO ways these two processes are similar. Describe at least TWO ways these two processes are different.

The life cycle of which of these viruses depends on reverse transcriptase? A)HPV, a DNA virus B)HIV, a (+)RNA retrovirus C)SARS-Cov-2, a (+) RNA virus D)Influenza, a (–) RNA virus

How do retroviruses use the enzyme reverse transcriptase?
