Viral Replication Part II Flashcards
have distint lineages that predate the origin of LUCA
viruses
mutation rate and genome size relationship
inversely related
have lower mutation rates than its counterpart (ss)
ssDNA
viral genomes consist of either
DNA or RNA
viral genome shape
linear or circular
single-stranded viral genomes may be of either the
plus sense
minsu sense
have the exact same base sequence as that of the
viral mRNA
plus configuration
are complementary in base sequence to viral
mRNA
minus configuration
- typically smaller than those of cells - encoding about __ genes
viral genome
350
tiny viruses contain fewer than __nucleotides and only two genes
2000
writing across of genetic information from a sequence of nucleic acid to the complementary sequence in messenger RNA (mRNA)
transcription
converts genetic information from the language of bases in nucleic acid to the language of amino acids in proteins
translation
DNA viruses after transcription, does this process to translate its proteins
transport
if the enzymes are not present in the location they prefer, then the virus should do what
bring it along its capsid
typical mRNA in eukaryotes are ___
monocistronic
cystron means
gene
1 mRNA is equal to how many genes
3 genes
where does DNA virus do transcription
nucleus
where do RNA viruses do transcription
cytoplasm
why do RT viruses need to convert +ssRNA to -ssDNA
to introduce their genome as DNA
type of Retrovirus where they have an option to do RT since they have the necessary enzyme
dsDNA
virus enzyme for dsDNA to be converted to mRNA
DdRp
virus enzyme for dsRNA to be converted to mRNA
dsRdRp
virus enzyme for +RNA to be converted to mRNA
ssRdRp
