Question

Description acceptable. Many cells with this property can vary the transcriptional levels of different subgenomic mRNAs via polar attenuation. Plasmodesmata in plant cells with this property increase their size exclusion limit by expressing movement proteins. The “multiplicity” of cells that develop this property can be calculated by counting the number of plaques that form on a petri (10[1])dish. The presence of dsRNA triggers RNAi because dsRNA is a pattern associated with this property. (10[1])Variation in replication strategies within cells with this property are described by the Baltimore classification system. (10[3])The life cycle of bacterial cells with this property can be divided into lysogenic and lytic phases. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])describe this property (10[1])of cells (-5[1])that have been hijacked (10[2])by agents (-5[2])like (10[2]-5[1])HIV or COVID. (10[1]0[1])■END■ (10[5]0[3])

ANSWER: infected by a virus [accept obvious equivalents; accept answers that name specific viruses like TMV, HIV, or COVID; prompt on infected or synonyms until “points” is read by asking “what type of agent is causing the infection?”]
