Q. 1
Which of the following statement regarding Rota virus is false?
A
Most commonly affects children
B
Double stranded RNA virus
C
It is a non enveloped virus
D
None of the above
Ans.
D
Explanation:
Rota virus is a double stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Reoviridae.
The RNA is enclosed in a triple layered, non enveloped icosahedral capsid.
It is one of the commonest cause for watery diarrhoea in children.
Oral rehydration therapy is the most appropriate treatment of choice.
Q. 2
Reassortment has enabled the development of live vaccines, which is a feature of the following virus?
A
Hepadna virus
B
Herpes virus
C
Astrovirus
D
Rotavirus
Q. 2
Reassortment has enabled the development of live vaccines, which is a feature of the following virus?
A
Hepadna virus
B
Herpes virus
C
Astrovirus
D
Rotavirus
Ans.
D
Explanation:
One unique feature of rotaviruses is the ease with which the 11 RNA segments can undergo reassortment.
Reassortment has enabled the development of live vaccines that combine genes from readily cultivated animal rotaviruses with human rotavirus genes that encode serotype-specific capsid proteins.

Explanation:
Ans. is ‘c’ i.e., Rotavirus
The segmented genome of rotavirus allows genetic reassortment during coinfection – a property that may play a role in viral evolution and has been utilized in the development of reassortment animal – human rotavirus – based vaccines.
