A 35-year-old male visits you in the office complaining of a 3-day history of flu-like symptoms. He has had a low-grade fever, swollen submandibular lymph nodes, and muscle aches (myalgia). Physical examination shows lymphadenopathy (painful swollen nodes) in the head and neck region, 101°F temperature, otherwise normal vitals, clear lungs, and heart and GI exam. You suspect an acute viral infection in this patient. Which of the following characteristics does NOT describe a viral particle? A. Obligate intracellular parasite B. Lacks enzymes for metabolic processes C. Composed of nucleic acid and proteins only D. Contains an RNA-based genome E. Has a nucleus

Which of the following approaches should she use for her observations? a) positive staining and phase contrast microscopy b) positive staining and scanning electron microscopy c) negative staining and transmission electron microscopy d) negative staining and phase contrast microscopy e) differential staining and light microscopy B- You were asked to view electron microscopy images of papilloma virus and herpes virus. The diameter of papilloma virus was stated to be ________ and the diameter of herpes virus was stated to be _______. a) 20 nm; 72 nm b) 55 nm; 100 nm c) 12 nm; 500 nm d) 100 nm; 500 nm C- Which of the following is NOT a type of CPE produced by viruses infecting animal cells? a) formation of syncytia b) formation of inclusions c) cell swelling d) plaque formation on a lawn of growth on an agar plate e) cell shrinking D- Which of the following viruses produces "owl eye" inclusions in cells it infects? a) mumps virus b) reovirus c) adenovirus d) measles virus e) cytomegalovirus
Sulav P.
You have isolated a virus from the stool of a patient with diarrhea and shown that its genome is composed of multiple pieces of double stranded RNA. Which of the following statements BEST describe this virus? A The genome integrates into the host cell chromosome B The virion contains an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase C Each piece of RNA encodes the same protein D The virus encodes a reverse transcriptase E Replication of the virus occurs in the nucleus
