True or False. Because the genome is contained within an enclosed space (much like the nucleus of a cell), viruses are classified as eukaryotic. - ANSWERFalse Describe the two basic components of a virus. - ANSWER1. Genomic material (DNA and RNA) 2. Capsid (membrane-like structure that contains genetic material) The envelope surrounds the _________ of some viruses. - ANSWERcapsid True or False. You would expect to see a viral envelope on a virus infecting a plant cell. - ANSWERFalse Rank the following viruses based on their size from largest to smallest: Paramyxovirus Poliovirus Smallpox virus - ANSWERsmallpox>paramyxovirus>polio True or False: Highly infectious viruses undergo genome replication prior to viral attachment and entry. - ANSWERFalse Place the following viral life cycle steps in order beginning with viral attachment and provide a description of each step. Uncoating: Release: Replication: Attachment: Entry: New infection: - ANSWER1. Attachment: the virus attaches the host cell through proteins on the host cell. 2. Entry: the virus fuses with the host cell's membrane and enters the cell. 3. Uncoating: the capsid is disassembled 4. Replication: Using genomic material from the virus, the virus replicates within the host cell. 5. Release: new virus cells exit the host cell and are released.
