Why do animal viruses have envelopes and phages rarely do? A. Since bacteria don't have cell membranes, the bacterial viruses (phages) don't pick them up when they leave the target cells. B.

Animal viruses will often use the envelope in order to fuse with the plasma membrane of a new target cell, gaining entry into the cytoplasm. D. Animal viruses build the envelope inside of the target cell as they are being replicated, but before the cell breaks open and releases them into the extracellular environment. The envelope is a remnant of this building process. E. This is a trick question.

Explain why HIV becomes resistant so quickly when a single drug is used therapeutically. A. The virus is an RNA genome virus. By using host RNA polymerase to directly copy the genome to make more virus particles, there's no proofreading capability. This leads to a high rate of mutation of the viral genome and increased chance for drug resistance. B. HIV uses reverse transcriptase to make a cDNA version of its RNA genome. This polymerase is "'sloppy," with a high rate of error and lack of a proofreading capability. This leads to a high rate of mutation of the viral genome and increased chance for drug resistance. C. HIV synthesizes a protein enzyme that directly cleaves anti-HIV drugs, giving it a characteristically high rate of resistance to a single drug type. D. HIV is constantly changing its genetic structure by swapping genetic elements with other virus strains. This leads to a high rate of mutation of the viral genome and increased chance for drug resistance. E. Like bacteria, HIV undergoes spontaneous mutation in the presence of antibiotics, so multiple medications are used simultaneously to reduce the chance of this happening.

B. HIV uses reverse transcriptase to make a cDNA version of its RNA genome. This polymerase is "'sloppy," with a high rate of error and lack of a proofreading capability. This leads to a high rate of mutation of the viral genome and increased chance for drug resistance.

An antibiotic is added to a culture of E. coli, resulting in death of the cells. Bacteriophages are then added. Would the phages replicate in the E. coli cells? Why or why not? A.

No, because the bacteriophages would depend too much on having the active machinery of a living host cell for replication. C. Yes, because bacteriophages are capable of reanimating dead cells to force them to produce more virus particles. D. No, because entry of the bacteriophages into the target cell is dependent on the cell being alive to conduct endocytosis of the virus. E. No, because dead E. coli cells do not have any receptors on their cell walls to which the bacteriophages can attach for entry into the host cell by fusion.
