For viruses that grow in eukaryotic cells, list two features of these cells that have influenced how these viruses express their genetic information. There were many possible answer. You just needed to list two that are functions of the host cell. Methods are available for removing the nuclei from eukaryotic cells in culture. These enucleated cells can still carry out their cytoplasmic metabolic functions for a period of time.
Cells produce mRNA by transcription of their DNA genomes.
In contrast, single-stranded RNA genome viruses have three different strategies with respect to viral mRNA production. Briefly describe the production of mRNA for each of the following viruses. The genome is negative sense and is transcribed into five subgenome mRNAs. It is then transcribed into mRNA by the host RNA polymerase. Indicate which of these strategies is employed in the case of each of the following viruses.
