Naked icosahedral: polio virus - Naked helical: tobacco mosaic virus - Enveloped icosahedral: herpes virus - Enveloped helical: rabies virus - Complex: poxvirus. Discuss the nucleic acid types, size and morphology of the virion and the capsid, host tissue and cell specific infection, life cycle of replication, and methods of diagnosis for viruses.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an overview of various viruses, their characteristics, life cycles, and methods of diagnosis. It provides information about different types of viruses along with specific details on their structure, infected cells, and replication processes. The user appears to be compiling information relevant for a study or reference purpose.
Answer
Polio: ssRNA, icosahedral. TMV: ssRNA, helical. Herpes: dsDNA, icosahedral/enveloped. Rabies: ssRNA, helical/enveloped. Poxvirus: DNA, complex.
Naked icosahedral viruses like polio are small, single-stranded RNA viruses. Naked helical viruses like tobacco mosaic virus have single-stranded RNA. Enveloped icosahedral viruses like herpes have double-stranded DNA. Enveloped helical viruses like rabies have single-stranded RNA. Complex viruses like poxviruses have DNA and intricate structures.
Answer for screen readers
Naked icosahedral viruses like polio are small, single-stranded RNA viruses. Naked helical viruses like tobacco mosaic virus have single-stranded RNA. Enveloped icosahedral viruses like herpes have double-stranded DNA. Enveloped helical viruses like rabies have single-stranded RNA. Complex viruses like poxviruses have DNA and intricate structures.
More Information
Naked icosahedral viruses like polio are typically smaller and robust in the external environment. Helical viruses, such as TMV, often infect plants and facilitate long-term stability in varying conditions. Enveloped viruses, while sensitive to external environments, can evade the immune system and facilitate entry into host cells.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the nucleic acid type and structure. Remembering the general viral categorization by their morphology and host specificity can help.
