Which of the following cannot be affected by a bacteriophage? a. Escherichia coli b. many bacteria c. prions d. a and b One hypothesis is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a genetic chimera which: a. is identical to the SARS virus found in one species of bat. b. is a mutated form of the virus genome found only in pangolins. c. has a genetic composition identical to SARS-CoV-1. d. has a recombinant genetic code that resulted from a virus that inhabited a species of bat, and then invaded a species of pangolin which contained a different coronavirus.

Step 1
Most bacteria can be affected by a bacteriophage, but prions, which are not cells but rather misfolded proteins, cannot be affected by a bacteriophage. Show more…

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Depending on the bacteriophage, their genome can be made of either single or double-stranded DNA or RNA. The composition of genetic material found in a bacteriophage is 25% A, 33% T, 24% G, and 18% C. What can you conclude about the genetic material of this virus? Select one: a. It is single-stranded DNA. b. It is double-stranded DNA. c. It is single-stranded RNA. d. It is double-stranded RNA.

Which of the following events is most likely due to bacterial conjugation? a. A gene encoding resistance to gentamicin in the Escherichia coli chromosome appears in the genome of a virulent bacteriophage that has infected E. coli. b. A strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces a toxin encoded by a prophage. c. A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces Beta-lactamase encoded by a plasmid similar to a plasmid of another gram-negative organism. d. Emergence of Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has occurred due to jumping genes from one strain to another.
