Where do newly produced viruses go once they are released from the infected bacterial cells? They must find a body of water to remain viable. They travel to the liver and form cysts. They must find new bacteria to infect. They enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain.

They must find new bacteria to infect.

West Nile most often affects the elderly, the very young, and those with weakened immune systems. Which of the following can you correctly infer from this statement? The elderly and very young are likely to have weakened immune systems. The elderly and young are most likely to travel to the Nile area. The elderly and young have poor hygiene. West Nile is only able to target cells of a certain age.

The elderly and very young are likely to have weakened immune systems.

Which of the following statements about antiviral interferons is FALSE? They are produced by infected host cells. They are proteins. They spread through the blood to target infected cells in other parts of the body. They stimulate production of enzymes that inhibit protein synthesis.

They spread through the blood to target infected cells in other parts of the body.

DNA transformation involves the transfer of naked DNA into pili. a recipient cell. a restriction endonuclease. a bacteriophage.

a recipient cell.

The drug _____ blocks penetration and uncoating of the _____. vidarabine; herpes virus vidarabine; influenza A virus amantadine; herpes virus amantadine; influenza A virus

amantadine; influenza A virus

Which of the following is involved in gliding motility in bacteria? axial fibrils slimy polysaccharide secretion flagella cilia

axial fibrils

During bacterial conjugation, plasmid replication occurs in the donor only. the recipient only. both the donor and recipient. either the donor or the recipient, but not both. neither the donor nor the recipient.

both the donor and recipient.

The spore layer containing peptidoglycan is the forespore. cortex. dipicolinic acid. exosporangium. protein coat.

cortex.

The mismatch repair system will repair only mismatching donor sequences. only mismatching recipient sequences. both sides of mismatching sequences. either the donor or the recipient strand

either the donor or the recipient strand.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) presently infects about 40 million people worldwide. In what organisms did HIV originate? coldwater game fish in the ocean birds in Asia mosquitoes in the Nile swamplands monkeys in the rain forests

monkeys in the rain forests

In spore formation, the stage in which DNA condenses and aligns itself in the center of the cell is called the exosporangium. cortex. forespore. mother cell. vegetative cell.

mother cell

If the DNA of the provirus is transcribed, several single mRNA strands are produced. a plasmid is made. the provirus detaches and becomes lytic. one long polygenic mRNA is produced.

one long polygenic mRNA is produced.

When DNA from an ampicillin resistant organism is brought into an ampicillin sensitive organism by transformation and the product is grown on agar containing ampicillin, only the transformed cells will grow. only donor cells will grow. all cells grow. no cells grow. only ampicillin sensitive cells grow.

only the transformed cells will grow.

Prophage DNA is phage DNA integrated into host cell genome. phage DNA being actively expressed. phage protein left outside the bacterium. toxic to the host bacterial cell.

phage DNA integrated into host cell genome.

In the lytic cycle of phage replication, phage genes integrate into the host cell genome and are not expressed. phage genes exist as prophage. phage DNA remains inside the protein coat. phage nucleic acid is replicated and phage genes are expressed, making new phage protein and lysing the host cell.

phage nucleic acid is replicated and phage genes are expressed, making new phage protein and lysing the host cell.
