Some practice questions on our content this week. Please be sure to do BOTH Week 6 Practice quizzes for extra credit if you are aiming for that!

 

(I split the quizzes into two parts because the last question can be tricky and students tend to need to repeat the quiz a few times. And it's annoying to have to keep answering all the questions in to check your understanding for the last Q)

Question 1
/ 1 pts
Which of the following is a property of a virus? (Select all that apply)
  
  
  
 
 
Question 2
/ 1 pts

A bacteriophage infects a host cell and the genome integrates itself into the host chromosome. Sometime later, the phage is excised along with a short piece of DNA adjacent to the insertion point. Both the phage DNA and the host DNA are packaged into the same capsid. The bacteriophage then infects a new cell, delivering both phage and bacterial DNA.

 

Which process is being described in this scenario above?

 

 
 
 
Question 3
/ 1 pts

Which of the following is a novel enzyme found in retroviruses?

 

  
  
  
  
 
Question 4

(-)ssRNA can be directly used in translation at the ribosome.

 

  
  
 
Question 5

Put the steps of HIV infection in order by matching the correct events with each step:
Step 1
 
Step 2
 
Step 3
 
Step 4
 
Step 5

Question 7
/ 5 pts

Take your time on this one. I recommend writing out the table by hand in front of you & filling it out before submitting your final answer.

Once you have the completed, accurate table, please use it to study for Midterm 2!
