BIOD 171 module 6 (2 Versions) . True or False: Because the genome is contained within an enclosed space, (much like the nucleus of a cell) viruses are classified as eukaryotic: False. Viruses are neither eukaryotic nor prokaryotic 2. Describe the two basic components of a virus (short answer): A virus has 1. genomic material comprised of either DNA or RNA and 2. a capsid, a membrane-like protective structure that contains the genetic material, similar to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell 3. The envelope surrounds the capsid of some viruses 4. True or False: You would expect to see a viral envelope on a virus infecting a bacterial cell: False: Not all the viruses have envelopes 5. Rank the following viruses based on their size from largest to smallest: Paramyxovirus, Poliovirus, Smallpox virus: SmallpoxParamyxovirusPoliovirus 6. True or False: Viral replication occurs after it attaches and enters the host cell: True. The viral genome is never replicated before attachment and entry 7. True or False: Highly infectious viruses undergo genome replication prior to viral attachment and entry: False. The viral genome is never replicated before attachment and entry regardless of its level of infectivity
