Option last is the correct answer.
Prions do not have nucleic acid (niether DNA nor RNA) rather prions are misfolded proteins (polymer of amino acids) which have ability to transmit their misfolded shape into normal variant of that protein. Prions may cause various neurodegenerative disorders in human beings and in other animals.
which of these infectious agents do not have nucleic acid? virolds bacteria viruses prions
NUMEWORK 1. Compare and Contrast Viruses, Viroids, and Prions to Bacterial cells: Bacteria Viruses Virolds Prions Width Length Nucleic Acid (type/s) Protein (present/absent) Cellular (yes/no) Cell membrane (present/absent) Functional ribosome (present/absent) Growth (yes/no) Self-replicating (yes/no) Responsiveness (present/absent) Metabolism (present/absent) 2. Compare and Contrast Bacteriophage and Animal Virus Replication: Bacteriophage Animal Virus Attachment Penetration Uncoating (if yes, how?) Site of synthesis Site of assembly Mechanism of release
Prions are infectious nucleic acids. living, acellular entities. misfolded proteins which can cause normal versions to also misfold None of the above All of the above

Louis Pasteur QUESTION 74 Eukaryotic ribosomes cannot translate polycistronic mRNAS, SARS-coronavirus utilizes which of the following strategies to solve the polycistronic mRNA problem": O A alternative splicing B. discontinuous transcription creating a nested set of mRNAS OC alternative splicing OD.protease cleavage of a polyprotein E segmented genome
1. What viruses can cause meningitis or emcephalitis in humans? 2.Besides nucleic acid amplification, what other methods can be used to detect viruses that cause central nervous system infections, and how long do these test results take?
19. During virus growth, it is possible to obtain nucleic acid-free capsids. Under the electron microscope, these capsids look similar to complete virions. Would you expect such empty virions to be infectious? Why or why not? 20. Many DNA viruses encode proteins that stimulate the host to enter the S phase of the cell cycle. Why is this important for DNA virus replication? and are DNA are viruses only depend on active in sphase 21. (a) What viruses encode for...
How do viruses acquire an envelope? Viruses manufacture cell membranes because it is encoded in their nucleic acid. Animal viruses don't make membranous envelopes; these are only produced in phage viruses. Only DNA viruses make envelopes because they have a gene for phospholipid production. When virus are released from host cell, they take the host cell membrane along with synthesized viral glycoproteins.
