Which of these is an infectious protein viroid vector virus prion?
Prion
Which type a biological agent was recently identified as an inefective chemical?
prion
How do prions reproduce?
They don't quite 'reproduce', propagate would be closer to the mark. Prions are 'rogue' proteins, versions of naturally occurring proteins with a different 3D structure. They replicate in living host .
What tests can be conducted to identify the infectious agent of meningitis?
Special immunologic and serologic tests may also be used to help identify the infectious agent.
Is mad cow disease an example of a prion?
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as BSE, or Mad Cow Disease, is an exact example of a proteinaceous infectious particle, or Prion. It is an infectious molecule composed primarily of protien, unlike viruses. BSE attacks the brain, it is a neurodegenerative disease causing a break down of the brain tissue and spinal cord.
What is a non-cellular infectious agent?
A virus, a viroid or a prion
What one of these is an infectious protein?
They are called Prion. This is the definition I fount at wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn: "an infectious protein particle similar to a virus but lacking nucleic acid; thought to be the agent responsible for scrapie and other degenerative diseases of the nervous system".
An infectious agent that consists only of protein is a?
An infectious agent consisting of a protein is a prion. This is a mis-folded protein. It can cause several central nervous system diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru in humans. Spongiform Encephalopathy in cows, mink, and cats plus Scrapie in sheep.
Which of these is an infectious protein viroid vector virus prion?
Prion
What Biological agent that is an infective chemical?
Prion Prion
What is a small non-living infectious particle?
A virus or a prion.
Which type of biological agent was recently identified as an infective chemical?
prion prion
Which biological agent was recently identified as an inieffective agent?
prion
An Infectious particle made up of protein rather then DNA or RNA?
Prion
What type of biological agent was recently identified as an infective chemical agent?
prion
What is the name of the agent that contains no nucleic acid?
Prion
What is the naturally occurring circular piece of DNA called?
prion You are incorrect. It is called a plasmid. A prion is a very difficult infectious self-replicating particle similar to a virus.
