|
helical or icosahedral
|
|
What is the capsid constructed of?
|
multiple copies of a single polypeptide (helical), a small number of different polypeptides (icosahedral)
|
|
How are polypeptide units (protomers) bound to neighboring protomers?
|
H-bonding
|
|
What is called the nucleocapsid?
|
the complex of protomers and nucleic acid
|
|
How is the nucleic acid of a virus protected from its environment?
|
by being surrounded by the capsid
|
|
what is a capsomer?
|
structural subassemblies of icosahedral capsids
|
|
T/F. An important structural feature used in defining a viral family is the presence or absence of a lipi-containing membranse surrounding the nuclepcapsid.
|
TRUE
|
|
A virus that is not enveloped is referred to as a
|
naked virus
|
|
All of the helical viruses of animals are ________
|
enveloped and contain RNA
|
|
Eclipse period
|
represent the time elapsed from initial entry and disassembly of the parental virus to the assembly of the first progeny virion.
|
|
Is active synthesis of virus components occuring during the eclipse period?
|
Yes
|
|
Exponential growth
|
incrase of progeny increases exponentially for a time, then reaches a plateau, after which no additional progency yield occurs.
|
|
What is the growth limit of a virus within a cell limited to?
|
the rate at which the cell loses the synthetic capacity and structural integrity needed to produce new virus particles
