Q

reproduction of DNA viruses

A

virus injects DNA into host
our enzymes replicate DNA and reproduce protein
we do not have material to surronder its genetic code so we use RNA for coat protein

this is lytic cycle

Q

lysogenic cycle

A

injects DNA and reproducte but do not synthesize protein or reproduce DNA the cell just divides

when conditions are okay = lytic cycle

Q

RNA reproduction () retrovirus

A

virus with a reverse transcriptase enzyme enters the cell

this enzyme makes RNA to DNA
and DNA double helix

then integration of DNA copy into host chromosome

than protein synthesis

results in coat protein, envelope protein, reverse transcriptase

SARS-CoV-2:
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
RNA to RNA

HIV:
Reverse Transcriptase
RNA to DNA
