Questions in Mobil Genetic Elements -- Viruses and Plasmids

- In what lecture did we talk about Transposons?(18681 views)
- I was wondering if minus sense RNA viruses are considered to have both an early gene expression and late gene expression or just one since they bring with them the replicase that is needed to be transcribed in early gene expression when you have a plus sense RNA virus.(22335 views)
- I'm confused by the notes I wrote down on which of the "flavors" of RNA viruses undergo the alternating rounds of genome replication. I know that the minus sense strands must so that they canbe translated, but what about the plus strands? What is their complimentary strand (which would read minus) used for? I also confused myself on viral protease, is it part of the polypeptide chain coded for by the viral DNA now in the host cell's nucleus, or is it made somewhere else?(16892 views)
- I was wondering why people are allergic to penicillin?(20246 views)
- What exactly is meant by saying that the virus can persist on its own under permissive conditions. I know that the virus cannot replicate itself without a host cell, so does the previous statement just mean that they can exist without a host cell, but they will not replicate? I am a bit confused b/c on the side of my paper I have written that outside of a cell a virus cannot persist, which seems to contradict my reasoning.(19783 views)
- I have a question regarding the dormancy of HIV. Is it just dormant because even though the DNA may be replicated, it is not until it is called upon to be transcribed that anything actually happens?(16723 views)
- I know you mentioned the T-helper along with this concept in class, but I missed its function.(17843 views)
- In regards to the prophage, I have written that the prophage can lose its ability to get out. Does this just mean that at times, the phage is never allowed to leave lysogeny and enter lysis?(18284 views)
- I think you mentioned something in lecture about how viruses can't infect across all 3 domains or something like that. I apparently didn't catch all of that, so could you please let me know what that part of the notes is trying to say?(17768 views)
- I don't understand, I have written in my notes that a virus wouldn't have to bring in replicase along because replicase will be the first protein made? Is this the first protein made when (+) sense viral RNA is brought into a cell, since (+) can be translated directly?(18215 views)
