Question

1. What does RNA polymerase do inside a eukaryotic cell? Imagine an RNA virus infects aeukaryotic cell? Could the RNA virus use the eukaryotic host cell's RNA polymerase to replicate the viral RNA from the viral RNA template? Why or why not?

2. What is an enveloped virus? In your answer please include how an enveloped virus obtains its envelope and what the envelope is made of. Why is an enveloped virus better able to survive inside of the host compared to a naked virus?

3. Bacteriophage and animal viruses both complete five steps of viral replication. Pick two of those five steps and describe how each type of virus completes it. For example, if you pick adsorption, describe how a bacteriophage adsorbs vs. how an animal virus adsorbs.

4. In conjugation, both the donor and recipient cells are alive. Describe the process of conjugation by describing the donor and recipient cells. For full credit, include and define pilus and Fplasmid.

5. In transformation, the donor cell is no longer alive. Describe the process of transformation by describing the donor and recipient cells. For full credit, include and define competent cells andnaked DNA.

6. In transduction, bacteriophage vector is needed to move the genetic information. Describe the process of transduction by describing the donor and recipient cells as well as the role of the bacteriophage vector. For full credit, include and define virus and host.
