Question 8 2 pts The virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS COV-2) is a Group IV virus (+ssRNA). What does this mean regarding its ability to express mRNA? It must enter through the nucleus of the animal cell to have its genome expressed. It can use the host cell's ribosome to have its genes translated directly from the genome. It can use the host cell's transcription and translation machinery to have its genes expressed. It must bring its own reverse transcriptase (an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase) to form DNA. It can directly use the host cell's RNA polymerase to have its genes transcribed directly from the genome.

The sequence of this virus' genome begins with the nucleotides AUG. This means that: - It is a negative-sense virus. - Its genome can be translated without intermediary molecules. - Two molecules can be constructed directly from this genome during synthesis. - It will form a provirus in the host cell without reverse transcription. TWO of the above are true.

Of the following, where is one most likely to find nucleosomes? Nucleus Mitochondria Virus Chloroplast SARS-CoV-2 has a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome. What does this mean? It's genome needs to be converted to complementary RNA before translation by the host cell. It's genome can be directly translated by the host cell. It's genome needs to be converted to DNA before translation by the host cell. It's genome needs to be converted into a polypeptide before translation by the host genome.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 disease is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus (written as ssRNA+). Select the sequence of events in the host cell that best describes how SARS-CoV-2 produces mRNA that is then translated by host ribosomes into viral proteins. Which of the following is true about viral genome replication and protein synthesis? THERE ARE NO OPTION CHOICES FOR THESE QUESTIONS!!!
