    The document is about viruses, their biology and structure. It provides information in the form of fill-in-the-blank statements about viruses and asks the reader to fill in missing terms. Key points are that viruses are made up of nucleic acids encapsulated by a protein coat, unlike bacteria they are not composed of cells, and their only function is reproduction. It also lists some viral diseases and natural defenses the body uses against viruses. Diagrams of three virus types are provided to label parts of their structure.

    Cells Antibodies AIDS Interferon


    Measles Mumps Protein Reproduction
    weakened Vaccines

    1. Viruses are made up of nucleic acids encapsulated by a coat of protein .


    2. Viruses, unlike bacteria, are not composed of cells .
    3. The only function required for life that viruses can perform is reproduction _
    4. These can produce protection against some viral diseases: vaccines .
    5. Name three viral diseases: AIDS , mumps and measles .
    6. A weakened form of the virus can be used to make a vaccine.
    7. The body uses Interferon and Antibodies as two natural defenses
    against viruses.

    Three different types of viruses are diagrammed below. For the polyhedral and rod-shaped
    viruses, label the nucleic acid and protein coat. For the bacteriophage, label the capsid,
    collar, tail sheath, tail fiber and base plate.
