I onlu need Questions 5 and 6. Answer both parts of the question. You find a brand-new virus, with an unusual hybrid genome composed of one strand of -ssRNA and one strand of + ssDNA. Answer the following questions based on the figure of the virus' replication/protein production shown above, with the corresponding numbers of the questions related to different steps of viral replication shown on the figure. Hint: for steps involving a polymerase, remember that only 1 polymerase can be used at each step.
1. Assuming that the virus is trying to be as efficient as possible, and using clues provided in the figure, what nucleic acid would be produced first at the step labeled \#1?
2. What component would be used at the step labeled \#2, to produce the nucleic acid at \#1?(step labeled \#2)
Would it be provided by the cell, the virus, or either?
3. With the ultimate goal of producing copies of the viral genome in the number of steps shown and only working from the nucleic acid produced at step \#1, what nucleic acid would be produced at \#3 on the figure?
4. What component would be used at the step labeled \#4, to produce the nucleic acid at \#3?(step labeled \#4)
5. What component would be used at at the step labeled \#5, to produce copies of the final genome?
Would it be provided by the cell, the virus, or either?
6. What component would be used at the step labeled \#6, to produce viral proteins?
Would it be provided by the cell, the virus, or either?
7. Would this virus need to have a fully formed polymerase packaged in the capsid with the genome?
