1. Is a virus considered "alive"? Explain with at least two different sources.
2. Find a diagram showing a virus. The picture should identify (by the author and/or you) the
following terms: genetic material (DNA/RNA), envelope, capsid, glycoprotein.
3. Rank in order the general steps of viral infection. Answer with a diagram, trying to locate these
steps:
___ Assembly of viral proteins (e.g. capsid)
___ Entry through endocytosis
___ Attachment to specific receptor
___ Replication of the viral genome (by RNA or DNA polymerase)
___ Translation of mRNA
___ Release of viruses (by apoptosis or exocytosis)
4. Immune defense against viruses occurs in what way (humoral, cellular, other)? Describe by
naming the important cells and molecules involved and their relationships. Your answer should be
presented via one or more diagrams, inspired by reliable sources, and should include the following
keywords: CD4, CD8, cytokine, antibody, B, T, MHC, APC.
5. Rank SARS-CoV-2 according to the following organization:
Order:
Family:
Genus:
Species:.
