SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes CoVid-19, belongs to the Coronaviridae family. Viruses under this family have a genome made of single-stranded positive-sense RNA. Is this similar to the viral genome of HIV? If so, do you think that – in theory – they would have similar replication cycles? Do you think that ART combinations/options might help in suppressing the viral replication of SARS-CoV-2? Expound.

Which of the following statements are correct for a class V ssRNA (-) virus? it uses its genome directly for translation it must make the complementary (+) RNA strand to synthesize more of its genome it replicates its genome via classical semiconservative replication it converts its genome to DNA via reverse transcriptase as part of its life cycle

Can someone help me with my virology homework? Can you explain how to interpret these three figures?

Reverse 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 vaccine

Describe 4 differences and 4 similarities between viral lytic and lysogenic phases. * For each difference clearly state the reason why lytic is different from lysogenic using technical biological terms.* For each similarity you can just state what is the reason(s) the 2 phases are similar.   Essay Limit: 300 words   Book: Biology (Campbell)          11 edition          Urry.

answer doesn't have to be long i just need an explanation, thank you!   The whole world right now is concerned (or they should be) about the appearance of new variants of SARS-CoV-2. Among other things, these variant viruses have mutations that change the amino acid sequence of the spike protein on the virus surface. While this is concerning, I would like to propose that there is a limit to how far these mutations can change the spike protein. Why can't there be an endless number of new mutations of this viral protein? How would these amino acid changes affect how the virus works?
