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. a. Poliovirus b. Vesicular stomatitis virus c. Rous sarcoma virus

7. 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.
a. Poliovirus
b. Vesicular stomatitis virus
c. Rous sarcoma virus
8. Infection of a human with influenza virus can trigger
both host defense systems: the interferon response and
the immune response. In the table below, indicate with
a “Yes" or a “No" regarding which of the events is
characteristic of which defense system (either, both, or
neither).
The
Interferon Immune
Event
The
Response Response
Both host and viral mRNA
are degraded in the cell
after infection.
A fragment of viral protein
in complex with major
histocompatibility complex
type I is displayed on the
surface of the infected cell.
The virally infected cell
dies.
Capped mRNA is no longer
translated in the infected
cell.
