Document Summary
It was first stated by francis crick in 1958: dna replicates itself. Translation proceeds through a sequence of steps (trna activation, initiation, elongation, termination). What happens during each: lytic cycle: with the lytic cycle, the virus attaches itself to a host cell and infuses the cell with its nucleic acid. This acid takes the host cell hostage and the virus begins to multiply with nucleic acid and its protein coat thus developing into new viruses. The host cell is eventually overcome with the new viruses and just like a balloon does when it has too much air, it bursts. While the viruses" nucleic acid is present in the chromosome, it is not active and therefore does not immediately affect the cell"s function. However, it will eventually separate from the genetic material of the host cell and take over to multiply.
