16
Q
  1. Assembly (lytic cycle)
A

New virus parts assembled

17
Q

5.release (lytic phase)

A

-phage makes lytic enzymes to destroy host
-New viruses released

18
Q

Lysogenic cycle (or dorment)

A

-can move into this cycle temporarily then move to lytic cycle
-Do not always destroy host
it hides
-Bacteria replicates all genetic material

19
Q

prophage

A

loop of DNA combo of bacteria and reg cell is called a lysogenic cell

20
Q

lysogenic

A

viral and host genomes become ONE 🡪 prophage (Lysogenic cell)
they coexist with cell

21
Q

dorment

A

not actively making new viruses ( no bacteria material)

22
Q

Lysogenic Conversion
(only for some types of bacteria

A

Lysogenic cells exhibit converts to new properties

23
Q

reteroviruses

A

RNA virus
dsDNA into host genome
RNA polymerases transcribe incorporated DNA into copies of viral RNA
Viral proteins made
Capsid produced
New viruses assembled

24
Q

Reverse transcriptase:

A

RNA→ DNA intermediate

transcription reversed

25
Q

what type of retrovirus ex do you need tk

A

HIV

26
Q

Emerging Viruses

A

New or previously uncommon

27
Q

why do outbreaks of emerging viruses happen

A

Extend range-transporting viruses
High mutation rates
