Viruses. What Is a Virus? Viruses are particles of nucleic acid (DNA/RNA), and a protein coat. All viruses enter living cells and use the infected cell.

VIRUSES PA State Standards:. What are VIRUSES? 1) A nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a coat of protein. 2) Viruses are not considered to be alive.

What is a Virus? Particle of nucleic acid and protein which reproduce only by infecting living cells.

VIRUSES - Small non-cellular particles - Seen only with an electron microscope - Classified according to their shape - Classified according to their molecular.

Viruses, bacteria, viroids, and prions can all cause infection.

Presentation transcript:

Nucleic Acid (DNA or RNA) Analysis Instructions Based on the nucleic acid “fingerprints” determine the identity of the virus that each patient possesses. Comparisons of the “banding pattern” between the patient’s virus and the known viruses should be made in order to determine the unknown virus’ identity.

Example A sample of blood was taken and compared to 4 potential “owners” of the nucleic acid. Who is the “owner” of this blood sample?

Patient 1: George Key A: Polio B: SARS C: Influenza D: Rhinovirus E: Rabies F: George’s Virus

Patient 2: Lisa Key A: Lisa’s virus B: SARS C: Influenza D: H1N1 E: Rabies F: T4 Bacteriophage

Patient 3: Shane Key A: Shane’s virus B: SARS C: Rhinovirus D: Influenza E: Rabies F: Polio

Patient 4: Sharon Key A: T4 Bacteriophage B: Rhinovirus C: SARS D: Influenza E: Rabies F: Polio G: H1N1 H: Sharon’s Virus
