?Kingdom for virus? (Prokaryota & Monera) Virus Ch 18.1 Prokaryotes = no membrane bound organelles (no nucleus or mitochondria)
Virus structure: • Protein Coat • DNA or RNA for replication • Adsorb-tion site • Host specific
Nonliving Not cells Few of life’s criteria No respiration No growth No development Can be crystalline, dormant Living Replicate (with host) Contain DNA,RNA Contain protein coat Are viruses living or non-living?
4..Bacteriophage • Bacteria “eating” virus • Virus uses the bacteria as a host • For Viral replication
Plant peach virus 5.Virus can infect • Plants • Animals • Bacteria
Cow pox vaccination 1749 • Acquired Immunization • Artificial injection of a small amount of virus • Body’s immune response makes antibodies
Lytic Cycle (Replication) of a Virus - “AVIRAL” 3. Replication of Viral DNA • Adsorption of virus onto the host 5.Lysis of Host cell Membrane & release Of virus 4. Assembly of protein coat 2. Insertion of Virus DNA into host cell
HIV virus infects T-cells • HIV virus Weakens the immune system • AIDS patients die of “common” diseases when T cell (WBC) count falls
AIDS = break down of the immune system & death due to common diseases versus death by AIDS virus
Transduction: Viral DNA becomes inserted Into the Bacteria DNA (1/100,000)
