You isolate an infectious substance that is capable of causing disease in plants, but you do not know whether the infectious agent is a bacterium, virus, viroid, or prion. you have four methods at your disposal that you can use to analyze the substance in order to determine the nature of the infectious agent. i. treating the substance with nucleases that destroy all nucleic acids and then determining whether it is still infectiousii. filtering the substance to remove all elements smaller than what can be easily seen under a light microscopeiii. culturing the substance by itself on nutritive medium, away from any plant cellsiv. treating the sample with proteases that digest all proteins and then determining whether it is still infectiouswhich treatment could definitively determine whether or not the component is a viroid? a) ib) iic) iiid) ive) first ii and then iii

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
