Question
viral genome needs to get to the nucleus for the virus that replicates in the nucleus. the viral nucleocapsid has to pass two barriers (i.e., plasma membrane and nuclear membrane). Compare and contrast the mechanisms by which the viruses penetrate the two membranes.

- Place the stages of the viral life cycle in their correct order. ____ Attachment ____ Lysis ____ Biosynthesis ____ Maturation ____ Penetrationarrow_forwardCoronaviridae is a virus “family.” There are actually many different coronaviruses within this group, including less pathogenic virus strains that cause the common cold. Many people in this course have likely been infected with one of these other coronaviruses. A common feature of coronaviruses and other RNA viruses (think influenza virus, HIV, etc.) is that they mutate frequently. This is because the viral enzymes that copy the genome during replication can’t fix mistakes. Given this information, how might we be able to distinguish the SARS-CoV-2 strain from some of the other, less concerning, coronavirus strains?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a similarity between viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages) and viruses of algae? These viruses will enter host cells by membrane fusion. They infect host cells by injecting nucleic acid (i.e., capsid does not enter cell) After replication in a host cell, the newly-assembled viruses will exit the cell by budding. These viruses are taken into host cells by phagocytosis.arrow_forward

- Which of the following statements accurately distinguishes between viruses, prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells?
