Question

Which of the following genes would not likely be encoded on a plasmid? O genes encoding toxins that damage host tissue O genes encoding enzymes for the degradation of an unusual substrate O genes encoding antibacterial resistance O gene encoding enzymes for glycolysis QUESTION 7 Infection by rotavirus (dsRNA virus) would trigger an interferon response by the host's immune system due to production of a dsRNA. O True False

Answer 1

6. Genes would not likely to encoded on plasmid?

Ans: Genes encoding enzymes for the degradation of an unusual substrate. It is not present, but the genes encoding for damage host tissue, antibacterial resistance, enzymes for glycolysis are present in plasmids.

7. True

Rotavirus infection trigger the innate immune system in host. This response leads to the induction of type 1 and type 3 interferons and other cytokines resulting in the reduction of viral replication.
