Q
cell lysis
A
cell membrane disruption that results in cell death and the emptying of its internal contents
2
Q
latency period
A
a period when the virus is dormant or not replicating

Q
lysogenic cycle
A
the process of a virus integrating its nucleic acid into the host genome

a bacteriophage that undergoes the lysogenic cycle
5
Q
lytic cycle

the destruction of an infected cell and its cell membrane following viral replication
6
Q
permissive host
A
a host cell that is unable to stop the reproduction of viruses inside of it
7
Q
provirus
A
an animal virus that is able to undergo a lysogenic cycle
8
Q
