Would you expect a viral DNA to code for ribosomal RNAs?
No. Viral DNA is going to code only for viral DNA. Viral RNA will code for viral RNA.
Are nucleoside analogs that inhibit DNA synthesis effective against viral diseases?
yes, nucleoside analogues are artificial nucleosides. The block the completion of new viral DNA chains, therefore, preventing the production of new viral bodies. This way the viral enzyme, reverse transcriptase is more likely to incorporate the nucleoside analogue into the DNA than the host's DNA polymerase.
How can recombinant DNA technology be used to combat HIV infections?
How can recombinant DNA technology be used to combat HIV infections?
What enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?
integrase
What is viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA called?
The introduction of viral DNA into the host genetic structure is called lysogeny. And this is lysogenic cycle.
What Diseases passed from parents to offspring?
Bacteria are too large to cross the placenta, however viruses can. This means bacterial infections are not transmitted, but viral infections can be. Examples of viral infections include rubella, HIV and chicken pox. DNA related diseases like Huntington's and Tay-Sachs can be inherited by the offspring of a sufferer.
What makes copies of viral DNA?
ribosome
Why do viruses depend in host cells?
Viruses are composed of protein and DNA. The DNA encodes the protein as well as the DNA for the virus. Viruses depend on host cells because they are incapable of reproducing themselves. They enter the host cell and the viral DNA is inserted into the host DNA. The virus then "hijacks" the host cells replication machinery to make more viral protein and viral DNA.
How many types of vaccinations are there?
There are many different types of vaccines. Live vaccines include live cultures or strains. Also included in the list of different vaccines is DNA and Toxoid.
why do bacteria have restriction enzymes?
to destroy viral DNA
What happens after genetically modified plasmids inserted into bacteria?
Plasmids are cloned and start producing protein .
What type of viral infection can lead to altered host cell genetics?
DNA viruses usually enter the nucleus and alter the DNA in order to produce new viral particles so I guess the answer is any DNA virus.
