About general virology flashcards
GoConqr OriginalWhat General Virology flashcards cover
The decks offer prompts on both broad topics and particular viruses. Viral Biology asks about viral structure and life cycles, while Bacteriophage Lambda covers phages and their growth. Virus evolution includes questions on mutation and viral fitness. Other decks focus on topics such as HIV, coronavirus and viral pathogenesis.
How to study with a deck
Start with Viral Biology if you want to practice the basics: its prompts cover what a virus is, its structure and its life cycle. For a narrower topic, choose Bacteriophage Lambda and work through its questions on phages.
Try answering each prompt before checking the card. Return to questions you found difficult and see whether you can explain them without looking. If you want to see how ideas connect, switch to a mind map on the unit page. A quiz offers another way to check your recall.
Choose a topic and work through a few cards.
Frequently asked questions
Which flashcard deck is a good place to start?
Viral Biology is a useful starting point for broad recall practice. Its prompts ask what a virus is and cover structure, taxonomy and life cycles. If your current topic is phages instead, Bacteriophage Lambda offers a more focused set of questions on their functions and growth.
What topics do these flashcards cover?
The decks cover general topics such as viral structure and evolution as well as specific areas such as phages, HIV and coronavirus. For example, Virus evolution asks about mutation and viral fitness, while AIDS/HIV Infection includes questions about the action of HIV and its treatment.
Are the flashcards free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open and study without an account. The decks were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
