Viruses

What part of a virus is the protein coat that houses the genetic material (DNA/RNA)?

• tail

• nucleus

• capsid

• glycoprotein

Which viral life cycle allows viral genetic material to be integrated into the host cell's DNA?

• lytic

• mitosis

• lysogenic

• S phase

Is a virus considered living or non-living?

• Living
• Non-Living
• Neither

What is the first step of either virus reproduction cycle?

• The viruses genetic material (DNA) starts to take over the functions of the cell

• The host cell bursts open, releasing the new viruses

• The virus injects its genetic material into the cell

• A virus attaches to the surface of a host cell

What do viruses have in common with living cells? They both...

• have genetic information

• have chloroplasts

• use glucose for cellular respiration

• have endoplasmic reticulum

What is the purpose of surface protein on a virus?

• As defense.

• They provide structural support.

• To allow the virus to move.

What is a host?

• Organism that lives on the cell and causes it harm
