Question

Which statement among A-D is false regarding animal viral infections? A. Uncoating refers to the process of viral exit from the host cell. B. Depending on the virus type, assembly of viruses may occur in the nucleus or cytoplasm. C. Budding is a mechanism of virus exit that leads to acquisition of the envelope around the viral particles. D. Endosome formation is a mechanism that allows for the viral genome to be freed from the capsid. none of A-D are false QUESTION 16 Which statement is false concerning retroviruses OA The information flow of such viruses is: RNA to DNA to RNA to protein. B.They can form a provirus. C. They can remain in the provirus state while simultaneously initiating production of new viral particles. D. None of A-C are false; they are all true statements.

Answer 1

Answer to 1st question: Regarding animal viral infections, all the given statements are correct except the first statement. Uncoating refers to the  process of viral exit from the host cell. Uncoating refers to the process by which a virus is disassembled after it enters a host cell. This releases its genome in the host cell.

Correct choice : (Incorrect statement) A. Uncoating refers to the process of viral exit from the host cell.

Answer to Q16 A retrovirus is a virus whose genetic material is RNA and it undergoes lytic cycle. In this. its genome gets integrated with the host genome and gets replicated along with the replication of host cell , which means it can exist as a provirus.. The flow of genetic information is from their genetic material, RNA to DNA , to RNA and then to protein.

Correct choice Q(16) is : D. None of A-C are false; they are all true statements.
