Answer the following
1.Are viruses living or non-living organisms?
2. What is the difference between HIV and AIDS?
3. HIV is classified as a retrovirus. What are retroviruses?
4. In your own words, provide a short summary of the HIV replication cycle.
5. Why is reverse transcriptase an important enzyme in the replication cycle of HIV?
6. In the chapter about enzymes, we have discussed how drugs are basically inhibitors. There are currently a multitude of Antiretroviral therapy (ART or ARV) options available to people living with HIV (PLHIV) so that the viral replication is suppressed and does not progress to AIDS. What do you think these drugs target? Discuss briefly.
7. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes CoVid-19, belongs to the Coronaviridae family. Viruses under this family have a genome made of single-stranded positive-sense RNA. Is this similar to the viral genome of HIV? If so, do you think that – in theory – they would have similar replication cycles?
8. In your own opinion, do…
91) The NDV virus
a. The mesogenic ND is less virulent than lentogenic than NDV
b. The antigenomic copy is the template for both making genome and making subgenus
c. The RNA polymerase is only made in the first round of translation
d. The Fusion protein is the virulent protein
Define the following terms: a. anti nucleoside b. HGPRT c. Lesch–Nyhan syndrome d. purine salvage e. gout
