A

May be DNA or RNA. Single or double stranded

44
Q

Positive Sense

A

can be translated by host cell

45
Q

Negative Sense

A

RNA replicase must synthesize a complimentary strand, which can then be translated

46
Q

Retrovirus

A

single stranded RNA. Reverse transcriptase needed to make DNA

47
Q

Lytic Cycle

A

virions made until cell lyses

48
Q

Lysogenic Cycle

A

virus integrates into genome as provirus or prophage. Goes dormant until stress activates it.
