Question 3

You are working in a laboratory that is studying a newly isolated virus.Your job is to culture the virus using in vitro methods.Upon observing your inoculated tissue culture specimen one day,you notice clumps of cells growing on top of the original monolayer of cells.Microscopic analysis of stained cells from the culture reveal an alteration in host cell membrane protein content and chromosomal structure.Based upon this information,you hypothesize that the virus you are studying is:

Accepted Answer

A) a bacteriophage 
B) a prion 
C) a viroid 
D) an oncovirus 
E) a satellite virus 
A) a bacteriophage
