The main structure of all viruses.
What is the nucleocapsid?
100
This has to occur first for any virus to enter a cell.
What is a peplomer binding to a complementary receptor on the host?
100
When a virus is released because a cell ruptures and dies.
What is lysis?
100
COVID-19 is caused by this virus.
What is SARS-CoV-2?
100
The virus pictured below and its viral shape.
What is Ebola virus which is flexible helical?
200
The identical repeating subunits on a virus, which alert the host immune system that they are an invader.
What are proteins called capsomers?
200
A form of entry that both naked and enveloped viruses can do.
What is endocytosis?
200
A form of viral release that is also known as exocytosis.
What is budding/blebbing?
200
The virus that causes COVID-19 is this kind of virus (enveloped or naked, RNA or DNA, ss or ds).
What is an enveloped +ssRNA virus?
200
The shape of the virus picture below and an example of a virus with that shape.
What is complex shape and T4 Phage?
300
The presence of this determines viral host range.
What is the complementary receptor on the host species?
300
A form of entry where only the viral nucleocapsid enters the host cell.
What is membrane fusion?
300
All bacteriophage leave the host cell through this release method.
What is lysis?
300
The release method of the virus that causes COVID-19.
What is budding/blebbing?
300
The viral shape shown in the image below and an example of a virus with that shape.
What is rigid helical and Tubulovirus?
400
Two kinds of viruses can that cause cancer in humans.
What are DNA viruses and retrovirus viruses?
400
A form of entry where a viral capsid fuses to the host cell membrane.
What is direct penetration/injection?
400
Molecular mimicry can occur because of which viral method of release.
What is budding/blebbing?
400
Primary transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19 and how far it travels.
What is droplet transmission (human-to-human) that travels 6ft or more.
400
The viral shape picture below and an example of a virus with that shape.
What is icosahedral shape and adenovirus?
500
Viruses can cause cancer in humans if they insert into the human genome and interrupt either of these two genes.
What are oncogenes and DNA repair genes?
500
A form of entry where a virus tricks a cell into thinking it's a useful molecule, like a nutrient.
What is endocytosis?
500
Herpes viruses leave a host cell through this release method.
What is budding/blebbing?
500

What is 3 hours in air and 3 days on surfaces?
500
The viral shape pictured below and an example of a virus with this shape.
