RNA virus

phenotypes of the individuals. The DNA is then copied by the RNA and synthesized into protein. The process of transcription, which is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template, is where the instruction of the gene expression is most likely to occur. Prokaryote allows a continual synthesis of protein to occur. On the other hand, in…

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a viral infection that affects young children and infants, but may also affect adults. RSV belongs to the family of paramyxoviruses and is classified in the genus pneumoviruses. There are at least ten polypeptides of RSV that exist. RSV is an ssRNA, enveloped virus ranging in size from 120-300nm, its envelope contains two proteins and two glycoproteins, according to virology-online. It has two subtypes A and B with, it is believed that subtype A exhibits…

We have all had a virus at one point. Sometimes I go to the doctor with my mother and he will say something like, "all the tests came back negative so he probably has a virus." That seems a little confusing because you would think they could tell what the virus was, but there are so many viruses that sometimes we as humans just catch a virus and have to deal with it. Obviously some viruses are not as powerful, but some are very serious and could even lead to death. Two common viruses are…

it worth dropping all morals and ethics? This virus that affects and harms many is otherwise known as greed. Greed is defined as an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. Examples of this can even be found in today's society. One example is a person taking all the cookies in his house for himself, even though he knew other people wanted some. He took cookies to benefit himself at the expense of others. This virus takes hold of a person’s mind and shields…

Theory, RNA World, etc.). Life chemically first arose from inorganic matter due to the environment created by hydrothermal vents, the production of RNA, and clay hydrogels. Primarily, the environment created by hydrothermal vents could have led to…

about because RNA was formed. This occurred because organic molecules on Earth were able to form ribonucleotides from the assistance of a clay catalyst. Eventually, these ribonucleotides formed RNA, which, through time, began to fold and replicate itself. As replication got faster, RNA's started to attract amino acids and hold them together. Bonds started forming, and proteins were able to be produced. As more years passed, a lipid membrane enclosed the structure to protect the RNA and proteins,…

Proposed research: Aims and Objectives: Aim1: To address the roles of the Hira complex in rRNA transcription and embryonic development Aim2: To characterise rDNA chromatin organisation in the oocyte Aim3: To elucidate the transcriptional machinery of RNA Polymerase I in the oocyte Experimental Approach: Aim1: To address the roles of the Hira complex in rRNA transcription and embryonic development The Hira histone chaperone complex is an evolutionarily conserved complex, which is composed of…

Enterobiasis or oxyuriasis is the most common helminthic infection in children of all social strata in the United State. Although it is primarily a parasite of young children, rapid maturation of the egg allows it to be readily transmitted from child to child and from child to adult, in both family and institutional settings (Henry’s Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods 22nd edition). Pinworm infection is caused by Enterobius vermicularis. E vermicularis is a white slender…

Shingles are caused by the varicella zoster virus. Also known as herpes zoster, these viruses does not cause cold sores, genital herpes or STD. It is the same virus that causes chicken pox. You can get it when you are exposed to the chicken pox virus or it’s really rare after you get the vaccination of the chicken pox. When a person recovers from the varicella virus, shingles can be in your nerve system. And you won’t even notice. They can start to reactivated whenever, it can be years.…

as many of the other STD 's that are out there. Now HSV-1 is not an STD but it is from the herpes virus. The size and structure is 15 nm in thickness,125 nm in diameter, and it has four different layer first we start with the double-stranded DNA in the center core, then the genome is wrapped in a layer called the icosahedral capsid having 162 capsomers with six viral proteins which is made by the virus that has taken over the host cell in order to stay alive the third layer is made of 22 viral…
