Virology Flashcards
Protein coat of virus is called ?/
593
Capsid
Subunits of capsid is called ??
Capsomers
593
Viral nucelic acids is called ??
DNA / RNA
Not both
593
Basic structure of virus - Content ??
- Viral nucleic acids
- Capsid
- Envelope
593
Function of envelope ??
- Protection
- Attachment to the target cell
593
All virus are - H/D ??
Haploid
593
Envelope content of a virus ??
Surface glycoprotein
593
Capsid made of — ??
Protein
Function of capsid ??
- Protection
- Attachment
- Act as antigen
- Provide structural symmetry of virus
593
Cuase of geometry symmetry of virus ??
Arrangement of capsomere
594
Geometry symmetry of virus type ??
- Icosahedral
- Helical
Icosahedral virus ??
20 triangle - symmetric figure
594
Helical capsomere of virus ??
Hollow coil - Rod shaped
envelope present
594
Virion definiton ??
Complete virus particle that is structurally intact & infectious `
594
Polio virion example ??
NA covered by protein coat
594
Herpes virion part ??
594
Whole virus – Virion
594
Pseudovirus definition ??
PV contain host cell DNA instead of viral DNA within the capsid
594
Why non-enveloped viruses are resistant to detergent ??
The presence of an envelope confers instability on the virus
Examples of atypical virus like Agents ??
- Defective
- Pseudovirus
- Viriods
- Prions
594
Defective virus definition ??
A virus that composed of viral nucleic acid & proteins but cannot replicate without a helper Virus
595
Example of defective virus ??
Hepatitis-D
595
icosahedral example ?
