True or False: Because the genome is False. Viruses are neither eukaryotic nor
contained within an enclosed space, prokaryotic
(much like the nucleus of a cell)
viruses are classified as eukaryotic
Describe the two basic components A virus has 1. genomic material comprised of either
of a virus (short answer) 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
The _____ surrounds the capsid of Envelope
some viruses
The envelope surrounds the _____ of Capsid
some viruses
True or False: You would expect to False. The overwhelming majority of animal viruses
see a viral envelope on a virus are enveloped whereas the majority of plant or
infecting a plant cell bacteria-infecting viruses are not

True or False: You would expect to False: Not all the viruses have envelopes

infecting a bacterial cell
Rank the following viruses based on Variolavirus>Orthomyxovirus>Poliovirus
their size from largest to smallest:
orthomyxovirus, poliovirus,
variolavirus
Rank the following viruses based on Smallpox>Paramyxovirus>Poliovirus
their size from largest to
smallest:Paramyxovirus, Poliovirus,
Smallpox virus
True or False: Viral replication occurs True. The viral genome is never replicated before
after it attaches and enters the host attachment and entry
cell
True or False: Highly infectious False. The viral genome is never replicated before
viruses undergo genome replication attachment and entry regardless of its level of
prior to viral attachment and entry. infectivity.
Place the following viral life cycle Uncoating: the viral capsid disassembles
steps in order beginning with viral Release: New virus particles are produced and
attachment and provide a leave the cell
description of each step (short Replication: the viral genome is the 'blueprint' to
answer) make copies of itself
Attachment: viral receptors bind to host proteins
on the surface of the cell
Entry: the virus fuses with the host membrane and
enters the cell
New Infection: newly produced viruses that left the
host cell now go on to infect new cells
