Solutions

Expert Solution

1. SARS refers to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome which is caused by a zoonotic virus called SARS Coronavirus. It is a respiratory disease, which starts with flu, and myalgia leading to pneumonia.

2. Variola virus is a pathogenic virus of human that causes Small pox. The disease is characterized by small fluid filled blisters through out the body. It is highly contagious and can be fatal.

3. Bacillus thuringenesis is a bacteria that is widely used as a natural pesticides by farmers. During the stage of sporulation it produces a crystal protein which can be lethal to different species of moths.

4. Cellulose is a complex polysaccharide of D-glucose linked by Beta 1-4 linkage. It is the main sugar present in the cell walls of plants.

5.  Ti plasmid or tumour inducing plasmid can be found in Agrobacterium tumefaciens which is responsible for inducing crown gall in plants. It has a particular region known as T DNA which can transfer genes to its host DNA.

1) The spike protein on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles interacts with the ACE2 protein on our cells to initiate infection. The protein, TMPRSS2, then cleaves the spike protein allowing the virus to enter the cell. This leads to both cell death via pyroptosis and a widespread inflammatory response that damages the lung infrastructure. Scientists have identified a mutation in the TMPRSS2 gene that reduces viral entry in mice. Infected cells with the tmprss2 mutation make TMPRSS2 protein that...

Various experiments have shown that the SARS CoV-2 is an RNA virus that enter the human cells through a transmembrane receptor called angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and genome sequencing have been cardinal in both diagnosis and research into the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, DNA sequences of both SARS CoV-2 virus and susceptible human hosts are available. As a student of molecular biology and biotechnology, use the above information to answer the following questions. 9.In the study...
