What is a bacteriophage? 

Virus that attacks bacteria
100

Define Antibody

What your BODY produces in response to antigens that help it 'remember' and fight pathogens

100

What does lyse mean?

EXPLOSION

100
What two levels of taxonomy make up an organisms scientific name? I.e. Puma concolor

Genus Species

200

What are the 2 main parts of a virus? 

Capsid, nucleic acid

200

Define Antigen

A protein on the surface of the pathoGEN that your body uses to identify it

200

What does reverse transcriptase do?

Builds viral DNA from viral RNA (thus going backwards)

200

What are the correct sequence of events for the lytic cycle? 

Attachment, entry of genetic material, replication, assembly, release 

200

What is the 2 name naming system? 

Binomial Nomenclature

300

What are the 3 virus shapes? 

Icosahedral, complex, helical 

300

Define immunity. 

When your body has enough antibodies so that it is unaffected by a pathogen

300

What does integrase do? 

Integrates viral dna into host dna

300

What is the correct sequence of events for lysogenic cycle? 

Attachment, entry of genetic material, latent period, replication, assembly, release

300

What are the 3 domains of life? 

Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya

400

A? B? E? F? G?

A - Capsid

B - Nucleic Acid

E - Sheath

F - Tail Fibers

G- Baseplate

400

Which vaccine type uses another virus to deliver antibodies to your cells? 

Nucleic acid vaccines

400


1. attachment. 2. entry. 3. replication. 4. assembly. 5. release.

400

What occurs during the latent period of lysogenic phase?

Mitosis and normal cell function

400

What are the 6 kingdoms of life? 

Bacteria, Archaea, Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista

500

T/F - 

Viral particle also called a virion.

Viruses = 10-1000 mm

Viruses can have DNA or RNA. 

Viruses are considered intercellular parasites. 

F

T

F - inTRAcellular

500

Which is the least effective vaccine type? 


Subunit vaccines

500

What are the 2 enzymes specific to retroviruses and what is their function? 

Reverse transcriptase - performs backwards transcription to build viral DNA

Integrase - integrates viral DNA and host DNA

500

What is the difference between lytic and lysogenic cycle? 

Lysogenic - virus merges it's DNA with host DNA and allows the cell to undergo normal cell division through mitosis, creating many more infected cells

500

What are the levels in order? 

Domain. Kingdom. Phylum. Class. Order. Family. Genus. Species.
