Total questions: 40
Worksheet time: 20mins
What is the most abundant form of Marine Life?
Spiny Fish
Marine Mammals
Microorganisms
Eukaryotic Organisms
Which of the following is NOT a component of a Virus Structure?
Short Chain of Genetic Material (RNA Strand)
Capsid (Outer Protein Coating)
Nucleocapsid
Nucleus
What is a unique feature of Retroviruses?
They store their genetic information in the form of a single strand of RNA instead of the DNA double-helix most Viruses use.
They are among the most ancient of Viruses
They tend to be the largest types of Viruses
They are very simple to develop therapeutic medications for.
Viruses reproduce by:
Mitotic cellular division, producing two identical daughter Viruses.
By entering living cell and injecting their DNA into the cell and then using the cell's machinery to build new generations of viruses.
Through Sexual Reproduction which creates genetically unique offspring with each successive generation.
Recombination of RNA Nucleotide Sequences
As Retroviruses replicate themselves, what ultimately happens to the hose cell?
It bursts (Lyses),which frees the Viruses inside to go on to infect other cells.
They shrivel, which frees the Viruses inside to go on to infect other cells.
They immediately die off and the infection ceases with the life-cycle of the cell.
They remain unaffected until the infection is neutralized.
Viruses that specialize in infecting Bacteria are called _________Viruses
Retroviruses
Influenza Viruses
Omega Viruses
Bacteriophage Viruses
