BSC 1010C Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Viral Envelope, Lysogenic Cycle, Retrovirus
Document Summary
Basically protein packages (capsids) carrying around a genome. Cannot metabolize, no cytoplasm, and need to host cell for reproduction: give some examples of important diseases caused by viruses. Using the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle: describe the basic three stages of viral reproduction. Entry production of viral parts assembly & release: compare the lytic and the lysogenic cycles of bacteriophage. If a cell is killed right away then it"s the lytic cycle, if not then it"s the lysogenic cycle. Lytic cycle: during stage 5, release, the cell bursts releasing 100-200 phage particles. They may help viruses avoid the host immune system. Influenza: polio virus used to be around every summer.
