20. Most bacteria isolated from nature contain one or more temperate viruses.
True
False.
21. Prions cause diseases known as viroids.
True
False
22. By counting the number of plaque-forming units in a lawn of bacteria, one can
calculate the number of virus infectious units present in the original sample.
True.
False
23. Viruses are the most numerous organisms on our planet and infect all types of
cellular organisms.
True.
False
Viruses are genetic elements that cannot replicate independently of a living cell, called
the host cell. Viruses are therefore obligate intracellular parasites that rely on entering
a suitable living cell to carry out their replication cycle. Viruses DO possess their own
genetic information and are thus independent of the host cells genome. To multiply,
viruses must enter a cell in which they can replicate, a process called infection.
1. Viruses that infect animals often only infect cells of certain tissues. (T/F)
2. The genomic DNA molecules in every T4 virus are identical. (T/F)
3. Retroviruses were the first viruses shown to cause cancer. (T/F)
4. Satellite viruses are found in both animals and plants. (T/F)

1. The study of viruses is called .. -> Virology
2. The protein shell that surrounds the nucleic acid of the virus is called the

3. The number of infectious units per volume of fluid is called the
-> plaque forming unit.
4. The number of virions released, the , varies with the particular
virus and particular host.
5. Prokaryotes must have a mechanism for protecting their own DNA from host
restriction endonucleases. This is accomplished by-> modification.
6. .. (Lysozyme) are typically enzymes that act catalytically and are
therefore synthesized in smaller amounts.
7. In a T4 viral infection, the early and middle proteins are primarily enzymes
needed for theprocessingofnewlyreplicatedphageDNA________, whereas

to liberate the mature phage particles from the cell.
8. In a lysogeny, the virus-infected cell may remain alive and continue to produce
the virus indefinitely.
