What is the need of capping of TMV RNA?

A cap is associated to the 5' end of mRNAs of TMV transcribed by PolyII , which is essential for recruiting translation initiating factor and for anchoring RNA of the actin/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network.


What is the structure of a virus like?

Viruses are ranges in different sizes and structures. HIV, HBV, influenza are all spherical in shape. Phages like T phages carry an icosahedral structures. M13 phages, ebola appear as hair like (or tube) structures. TMV appears as rod like structure.


Discovery that viruses act more like a chemical than an organism came from work with the?

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). It was discovered that TMV could be crystallized, like a chemical, and still retain its ability to cause disease in plants. This finding challenged the prevailing view that viruses were organisms, leading to the recognition of viruses as complex biological molecules rather than living entities.


What country was rosalind Franklin born in?

in London specifically in king's college, where she has worked on the DNA, and then to birkbeck college, where she has worked on the TMV virus, but she haven't stayed there for a long time, but before both of these college she work in some coal association, were she discovered tow form of coal. But I think it is the king's college because it is the place where she has done her most well- know research


Do cigarette ashes kill house plants?

It can. There are several risks: 1. cigarettes are often treated with a variety of chemicals. Most of these chemicals are toxic to plants. If the cigarettes were 100% natural than the ash by itself would not be an immediate threat (nicotine by itself for example is harmless to plants and can actually be beneficial in some ways, including as a natural pesticide) 2. Ash of any kind is highly alkaline. While small amounts of alkaline substances will not harm a plant it is important to check the overall PH balance of soil and tune it to the plants needs (some prefer acids, some alkaline, some require neutral). Too much ash will push most plants to too high an alkaline level which cuts off their nutrient supply and kills them. 3. The biggest risk to plants from cigarettes is tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Even in its dried and packaged form, tobacco can transmit TMV. This virus infects 150 different plant species, can live up to 50 years in a dry plant and can be transmitted from the hands of a smoker to the plants he is working with. There is no control except removing the infected plants as completely as possible to avoid spread. TMV stunts the plant and damages the fruit, eventually killing it (often quickly). While the burning of the tobacco may kill TMV inside the heated portion, it is still possible to conduct TMV from the unburned portion of tobacco onto the colder portion of ash as its falling from the cigarette. TMV is death to most plants, above and beyond any other chemical additives that may be present in most manufactured cigarettes. So in summary if you wish to use nicotine to treat plants, get it in its pure form, already extracted. Keep tobacco and its ashes away from other plants, and wash your hands thoroughly before touching a plant if you have had any contact with a cigarette.

Is the TMV virus isosahedral virus?

Yes, the Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is indeed an icosahedral virus. It is a rod-shaped virus composed of helical protein subunits, which are arranged in a spiral that forms an icosahedral structure.

Is the tobacco mosaic virus a decomposer?

No, TMV can only grow in a living plant. Once the plant dies TMV can no longer multiply in it's host.
