1
New cards
Capsid
Protein coat found on viruses.
2
New cards
Lytic cycle
Virus replicating in a host that causes lysis, allowing the virus to infect more cells. Genetic material is made a part of the host.
3
New cards
Lysogenic cycle
Virus replicating in a host without killing the host immediately. Genetic material is incorporated into the host's DNA. When divided, the original DNA and viral DNA are copied so the daughter cell has the viral DNA.
4
New cards
Host cell
An organism used to feed another.
5
New cards
Virus
A non-living molecule that consists of genetic material (RNA or DNA) and a capsid.
6
New cards
Dormant
Inactive state where a virus remains until a lytic cycle begins.
7
New cards
Antibiotics
Medications that cannot treat viruses.
8
New cards
Reproduction
Viruses require a host to reproduce and lack metabolism, cytoplasm, and organelles.
9
New cards
Mutation
Viruses can mutate if the host cell makes a mistake when copying viral DNA.
