When a _________ enters a host cell, it loses the outermost protein layer and is then referred to by virologists as a double-layered particle (DLP).
rotavirus
(T/F) Tobacco mosaicvirus can be transmitted between individual plants by bitinginsects.
True
(T/F) One way in which small viruses package more information into a very small genome is to use overlapping genes so that the same base sequence is read in more than one reading frame.
True
(T/F) Almost all known plant viruses are RNA viruses.
True
(T/F) Although poliovirus capsids contain several distinct proteins, these are synthesized as a single polypeptide then cleaved by proteases to produce the individual proteins.
True
Influenza virus adheres to the epithelium of the respiratory system with the aid of _________ and _________ found in its envelope spikes.
neuraminidase; hemagglutinin
(T/F) Segmented genomes in negative-strand RNA viruses may have evolved from unsegmented ones; they may have been created by the reduction of redundant genetic regions.
