you isolate a virus and discover that it contains a single-stranded (ss) RNA genome. How would you determine if the virus has a + sense of a - sense ssRNA genome?
By sequencing of RNA extracted from isolated virus
Because (+) sense RNA can be translated but for (-) sense RNA, it has to be converted into (+) sense RNA, then it will be translated.

16. You isolate a microbe whose genome consists entirely of single stranded RNA. This microbe is A. an archaeon B. a yeast C, a bacterium D. a mold E. a virus 17. A microbe that grows evenly throughout a tube of reducing medium would be considered aſ an) A. Obligate acrobe B. Acrotolerant anaerobe C. Microaerophile D. Facultative anaerobe
Rabies is a single-stranded RNA virus that is a negative sense virus. Draw how a 6-nucleotide sequence of its genome would look (random sequence with all nucleotides represented). Please have the appropriate number of strands, different types of bonds and different components to the nucleotide in the drawing
COVID 19 is a positive sense single stranded RNA virus. Which of the following is the case, given this information? It integrates its RNA into a host cell this group of viruses is not generally known to infect humans It requires viral reverse transcriptase to convert its genome into a positive sense RNA strand it has a double stranded genome the genome does not need to be transcribed in order for viral proteins to be produced
24. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single stranded positive sense RNA. Enveloped virus using this information List and briefly describe or draw out and label the steps in the entire viral replication cycle of HCV.
You discover a new virus and determine that it is a negative strand RNA virus. A. Does it require any nucleic acid intermediates before its genes can be transcribed inside the host cell? If so, what? Explain your answer: B. Does it require any nucleic acid intermediates before its genes can be translated into protein inside the host cell? If so, what? Explain your answer: C. Does it require any nucleic acid intermediates before its genome can be replicated? If...
The Bromomosaic virus (BMV), which infects barley and some other plants, is a single-stranded RNA virus with three genomic RNAs that each have a specific amino acid attached to the 3' hydroxyl group of the RNAs. The amino acid is attached to the RNA through the carboxyl group, similar to the bonding that an amino acid exhibits when charging a tRNA. Propose a mechanism for the attachment of the amino acid onto newly replicated BMV RNA. What would this imply...
Influenza and polio are both caused by single-stranded RNA viruses. The influenza virus particles contain the enzyme RNA polymerase whereas poliovirus does not. What accounts for this difference?
1. The virus hijacks the cell, and RNA polymerases produce the complement to the positive stranded RNA genome. We can call these strands negative strands, and they then serve as templates for RNA polymerases to produce their complement. How does the sequence of these strands, the complement to the negative strands, compare with the original viral genome? 2-1. RNA polymerases lack proofreading ability. Define proofreading ability and describe its importance in replication of DNA genomes. a. Why is this a...
The influenza virus contains an RNA genome. Scientists typically need to make a new flu vaccine every year because Multiple Choice the common influenza virus can come from many species of animals including cats and dogs. people change their habits each year and become susceptible to different strains of the virus. the virus develops resistance to the vaccine. our bodies develop resistance to the vaccine and it becomes less effective. the virus can mutate into new strains.
Question 15. The genome of the bacteriophage Qb consists of about 4000 nucleotides of single-stranded RNA. Inside the E. coli host, replication of this genome requires a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase made up of phage and bacterial proteins. Interestingly, the replicase binds to a region in the center of the RNA genome, yet must start copying the 3 0 end of the RNA template to produce a new strand of RNA in the 5 0 to 3 0 direction. Researchers hypothesized...
