Answer:

Answer No 1:

The earliest evidence for the occurrence of viruses was the discovery of an infectious agent in the sap of a tobacco plant. Experiments were set with different filters from which bacteria could pass but viruses being even smaller than bacteria could not pass.

Viruses were difficult to study because they are very small and couldn't be seen even under a microscope.

Answer No 2:

Wendell Stanley made his studies on the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Wendell Stanley developed techniques and crystallized this virus. At that time, it was known that even a very simple cell does not undergo crytallization. Hence, Wendell Stanley got to known that this structure is some infectious agent which has the ability  of crystallization.

Answer No 3:

The four forms of viral genomes are:

  • double-stranded DNA
  • single-stranded DNA
  • double-stranded RNA
  • single-stranded  RNA.

Answer No 4:

The capsid can be described as proteins which make up a shell to enclose the genome of a virus. Capsomeres can be described as the protein sub-units from which a capsid is made. The shapes of a capsid can be characterized into

  • rod-shaped: helical viruses, or inside spherical viruses .
  • icosohedral: icosohedral viruses or the heads of bacteriophages.

Answer No 5:

The components of a viral envelope involve phospholipids and membrane proteins and proteins and glycoproteins. The phospholipids and membrane proteins are derived from the host cell.  The proteins and glycoproteins are of the viral origin.

If the conservative model had been correct, how many generations of bacterial cell division would have had to pass before mesels
Reil [10]

No generations or hybrid would form before meselson and stahl would have observed evidence of a band in the cscl gradient.

The conservative model predicts that, following a single replication, half of the newly formed DNA double helices will be made entirely of the original, or old, DNA, and the other half will be entirely new. Then, each double helix would be completely replicated during the second round of replication. After that, 25% of the double helices would be all new, and 25% would be entirely old. Thus, the fraction of entirely new DNA double helices would increase with each succeeding round of replication, but the total number of completely unique DNA double helices would remain constant. Therefore, no hybrid DNA molecule containing 14N and 15N is replicated in the conservative model.
