1
Q
mis - incorporation of nucleotides is called what
A
genetic drift
2
Q
what makes the mistakes in genetic drift
A
the non proof reading RdRp
3
Q
mutations are more common in DNA or RNA
A
RNA
4
Q
reassortment of influenza virus RNA segments is called what
A
genetic shift
5
Q
what causes genetic shifts
A
co-infection of a susceptible animals and generation of a new virus with a new genome sequence
6
Q
which genetic chain can cause epidemics
A
genetic shift
7
Q
RNA recombination
A
the cell is infected with two related viruses and it gets transcribed by RdRp but it switches from one virus to the other mid replication which created a brand new virus
8
Q
3 forms of genetic diversity
A
Genetic drift by RdRp mis-incorporating nucleotides
genetic shift caused by segmented reassortment
RNA recombination
