Do viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell?
Yes viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell. This happens when a virus enters a host cell.
Describe what happens to the host cell of a lysogenic virus?
In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA or RNA enters the cell and integrates into the host DNA as a new set of genes called prophage. That is, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell's genetic material. It does not destroy the host cell.
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.
What are defective genes?
defective genes are genes that are defective
What is a prophage gene?
A prophage gene is a gene of a bacteriophage (virus that targets bacteria) that is inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or plasmid. Bacteriophages reproduce by inserting their genome into that of a bacterium and thus getting their genes read and viral proteins produced.
What is genes responsible for dengue fever?
No genes are involved. This is a viral disease carried by mosquito.
What cycle of viral replication are the viral genes incorporated in the host chromosome without destroy the cell?
lysogenic
Do viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell?
Yes viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell. This happens when a virus enters a host cell.
What informational do viral genes contains?
They contain either DNA or RNA which contain genes for making more of the same viruses.
How can specialized transduction contribute to the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in a bacterial population?
The prophage takes an antibiotic resistance gene with it and is packaged with the newly synthesized viral DNA.
What are some things that might damage genes?
DNA can be damaged by viral infections, carcinogenic chemicals, radiation including ultraviolet and X-rays, and possibly from an error in coding.
Describe what happens to the host cell of a lysogenic virus?
In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA or RNA enters the cell and integrates into the host DNA as a new set of genes called prophage. That is, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell's genetic material. It does not destroy the host cell.
Where does HIV store its genetic material?
Inside its viral envelope, like any other virus. Technically its genes are encoded in RNA rather than DNA, which is why it's called a retrovirus.
Is rabies bacterial or viral?
Rabies is viral.
What actors and actresses appeared in The Viral Man - 2012?
The cast of The Viral Man - 2012 includes: Todd Adler as Viral Man Blanca Biller as Viral Man Jerry Capener as Elder Viral Man Janet Chu as Viral Man Robert Delitta as Viral Man Steve Deluca as Viral Man Kristen Felicetti as Newscaster Paul Gebeau as Big Viral Brea Grant as Luna Taliesin Jaffe as Daniel Charles Langer as Viral Man Thomas Langer as Viral Man Allan Langer as Viral Man Mary Langer as Viral Man Karl Lentini as Viral Man Clarence Leonard as Viral Man Shannon Mary Dixon as Sarah Rebekah Nelson as Viral Man Robin Nicole Sol as Viral Man Gregory Niebel as Isaac Zach Norton as Viral Man Paradox Pollack as Viral Man Sri Rajan as Viral Man Truddie Reif as Viral Man Kyle Schadt as Shotgun Viral Jordan Schulkin as Viral Man Havah Sterns as Viral Man Chris von Hoffmann as Viral Man
Is epidermodysplasia verruciformis an infectious disease?
The cause of the condition is an inactivating HP mutation in either the EVER1 or EVER2 genes, which are located adjacent to one another on chromosome 17.[1] The precise function of these genes is not yet fully understood, but they play a role in regulating the distribution of zinc in the cell nucleus. It has been shown that zinc is a necessary cofactor for many viral proteins, and that the activity of EVER1/EVER2 complex appears to restrict the access of viral proteins to cellular zinc stores, limiting their growth
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.
