Viral Replication and Diversity Quiz

Poliovirus is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route.

The Zika virus belongs to the Flaviviridae viral family.

Integration is not a step in the lytic cycle of viral replication.

Live attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the virus to stimulate an immune response.

Coxsackievirus is known for causing hand, foot, and mouth disease in humans.

The Ebola virus belongs to the Filoviridae viral family.

Reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA from an RNA template during retroviral replication.

Influenza virus is known for having a segmented genome.

Antigenic variation is a mechanism used by viruses to evade host immune responses.

Human papillomavirus is associated with the development of cervical cancer.

RNA polymerase is essential for the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template in eukaryotic cells.

Influenza virus is an example of an enveloped virus.

Negative-sense RNA viruses require RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for replication.

Integrase is responsible for the integration of viral DNA into the host genome in lysogenic replication.

Ambisense genome consists of both single-stranded positive-sense and negative-sense RNA.

A point mutation results in the substitution of one nucleotide for another.

Frameshift mutation involves the insertion or deletion of nucleotides, resulting in a shift in the reading frame.
