A dilution gradient is formed when carrying out what generalized planting strategy? -
CORRECT ANSWER: A quadrant streak
A drug company is trying to develop a new drug that will inhibit the release of newly
produced viral particles. Would the drug company target hemagglutinin proteins or
neuraminidase proteins? Why? - CORRECT ANSWER: The company would focus on
the Neuraminidase (N) proteins because they are directly involved in the budding and
release of new viral particles. Hemagglutinin proteins are involved in viral attachment
and entry into the host cell, therefore not making them an advisable target.
