Q:

Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding infection with parvovirus B19?

A) Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors B) Parvovirus B19 can cause hydrops fetalis via transplacental infection of a fetus in a seropositive mother
C) Parvovirus B19 can be diagnosed by detection of viral RNA using PCR or hybridization assays D) Parvovirus B19 replicates in the host cell nucleus utilizing a virally encoded DNA polymerase to create a double- stranded DNA intermediate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors

Explanation:

Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors.

 

a. Parvovirus B19 binds preferentially to the erythrocyte blood group P antigen on erythroid precursor cells.

Answers B, C, D are incorrect:

b. after entry the single-stranded viral DNA genome is transported to the cell nucleus where the host DNA polymerase synthesizes the complimentary DNA strand.

c. Parvovirus B19 infection can be diagnosed by direct detection of viral DNA not RNA.

d. the fetus of a seropositive mother is protected from infection by maternal circulating antibodies.

Q:

Function of Bile juice?

Answer

Bile contains bile acids, which are critical for digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Since bile increases the absorption of fats, it is an important part of the absorption of the fat-soluble substances, such as the vitamins A, D, E, and K. Besides its digestive function, many waste products, including bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cells recycled by the liver are eliminated from the body by secretion into bile and elimination in feces.

Q:

What do genes code for?

A) Ptoteins B) DNA
C) RNA D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Ptoteins

Explanation:

The genome of an organism is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

Q:

When during the Cell Cycle are Chromosomes visible?

A) only during interphase B) only during cell division
C) only during G1 phase D) only during they are replicated
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) only during cell division

Explanation:

During most of the cell cycle, interphase, the chromosomes are somewhat less condensed and are not visible as individual objects under the light microscope. However during cell division, mitosis, the chromosomes become highly condensed and are then visible as dark distinct bodies within the nuclei of cells. The chromosomes are most easily seen and identified at the metaphase stage of cell division and most of the chromosome images in this gallery are pictures of metaphase chromomosomes.

The cell division takes place in mitosis stage.
