Use the fоllоwing infоrmаtion for the next six questions. Virus’ аre known to tаke over a cell by inserting viral genetic material, a process known as “virulence”. You are studying a new type of flu virus and want to understand if it infects cells using the standard method of inserting virulent DNA or if it infects cells by inserting viral RNA or protein. To determine virulence of the virus you inject mice with the virus and note if the mice survive or die. To determine whether the destructive agent in the virus is protein, DNA, or RNA, you will treat the virus with enzymes that destroy each of the three molecules. You use a protease enzyme to destroy protein, a DNase enzyme to destroy DNA, and an RNase enzyme to destroy RNA in the virus. You then inject the treated virus into the mice to determine if the virus still works by noting if the mice survive or die. The chart indicates the effect on the mice under the various conditions. (A non-virulent strain is a strain that can't infect another cell. Think of it like an empty syringe.)
