The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.

Provirus is a viral gene that is inserted into the host chromosome. Lysogenic cycle divides the cell, the provirus also divides the cell, and results in two infected host cells.

The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cells chromosome is called the what cycle?

Lytic :D -Gotta help out my fellow Plato users.


Lysogenic and lytic viral stages?

Well im just going to type what it says in my bookIn bacterial viruses, the cycle of the viral infection, replication, and destruction is called the lytic cycle.During an infection, some viruses stay inside the cells but do not make new viruses. Instead of producing virus particles, the viral gene is inserted into the host chromosome and is called a provirus. Whenever the cell divides, the provirus also divides, resulting in two infected host cells. In this cycle, called the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome replicates without destorying the host cell. In some lysogenic viruses, change in the environment can causethe provirus to begin the lytic cycle, which means the destruction of the host cell.I hope this helps ^.^ --Pengi-Chan


What is the viral DNA that has attached to a host cell's chromosomes and that is replicated with the chromosome's DNA?

Many viruses can infiltrate a host's DNA to replicate itself. An example of this is the AIDS virus.


The lysogenic cycle is a viral reproductive cycle in which?

The viral DNA molecule is incorporated by genetic recombination into a specific site on the host cell's chromosome (chromatin body). it is then called prophage, the viral DNA incorporate into bacterium DNA , one prophage gene codes for a protein that represents most of the other prophage genes. the phage DNA along with its own and passes on the copies to the daughter cells. A single infected cell can soon give rise to a large population of bacteria carrying the virus in prophage form. So this propagate mechanism enables virus without killing the host cell's.


How does the virus affect the genetics of a cell?

Virus penetrates its genetic material into the host. The genome is then inserted randomly on a point of the host genome. Since it is an random event, it can block a pathway of that particular or cause any mutation due to the insertion of viral genome.

Why do viruses depend in host cells?

Viruses are composed of protein and DNA. The DNA encodes the protein as well as the DNA for the virus. Viruses depend on host cells because they are incapable of reproducing themselves. They enter the host cell and the viral DNA is inserted into the host DNA. The virus then "hijacks" the host cells replication machinery to make more viral protein and viral DNA.

What is transient expression?

Transient expression is a temporary expression of a gene or protein in a cell or organism, typically achieved using vectors or systems that do not integrate the DNA into the host genome. This allows for rapid and high-level production of the desired product without permanently modifying the host cell's genome. Transient expression is often used for research purposes or for producing recombinant proteins.


How do you do gene therapy?

In gene therapy, a retrovirus is engineered to contain a particular RNA sequence that is to be inserted into the target host's genome lysogenically. That retrovirus also contains reverse transcriptase. When the retrovirus is introduced to the host, it spreads throughout the host's system, infecting cells harmlessly, and introducing the new RNA sequence and reverse transcriptase. This converts the RNA to DNA, and the new DNA (new gene) is integrated into the host's DNA (genome).
