Supreeta N.
Most viruses have either an icosahedral or helical structural protein that surrounds the nucleic acid genome. What is this structural component called? Select one: a. Viral attachment protein (VAP) b. DNA-dependent DNA polymerase c. RNA-dependent polymerase d. Nucleocapsid e. Envelope
Sri K.
What types of nucleic acids make up viral genomes? How is this different from Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya? What is a viral envelope? What is it made of? Where does it come from? Describe the major steps in viral replication in both animal viruses and bacteriophages. How is the replication cycle of HIV, a retrovirus, different from many other viruses? What are viroids and virusoids? What is a prion? How did the name TSE come about? What are some diseases caused by prions?
