How is pathogen and provirus related?
The term pathogen most commonly is used to refer to infectious organisms. The inactive form of a virus is called a provirus. -ChaCha Answers
What is it called when a virus hides for a while as part of bacterial chromosome?
provirus
How are provirus and retrovirus the same?
A retrovirus is a virus that injects RNA into the cell, the RNA then goes through reverse-transcription. It gets turned into DNA and splices with the host cells DNA. Then the cell will make more RNA and produce protien. A provirus just injects DNA and either goes through the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle.
A host chromosome with a viral gene inserted into it is a?
The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.
During the lysogenic cycle is a provirus part of a host cell's chromosome?
Yes

What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the cell reproduces, the provirus is copied as part of the chromosome. The virus chromosome is placed into the host cell's.
What is it called when a virus hides for a while as part of bacterial chromosome?
provirus
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
Is the mumps disease form a provirus?
No. The mumps virus is an enveloped single-stranded, linear negative-sense RNA virus of the Rubulavirus genus and Paramyxovirus family.
What is the difference of PROVIRUS and VIRION?
A provirus is the virus' genetic material integrated with the genetic material of the host cell. Some viruses stay in this form inside a cell until a specific stimulus causes the provirus to start to reproduce and lyse, or burst, the cell. For instance, some prophages (a provirus from a bacteriophage) the process doesn't continue until UV radiation hits the bacterium. A virion is the name of the actual virus particle. The virion is comprised of the capsid and the DNA (or RNA) of the virus. The term virion is used in a similar way that bacterium is when referring to a single bacterial cell. Some virions, such as HIV also have a phospholipid bilayer that they gain by 'budding' from the host cell. When a cell is lysed the provirus gives way to viral progeny, the virions.
How are the normal functions of the host affected by the provirus?
Because the provirus makes the host reproduce
What happens when RNA is extracted from a virus is injected into a host cell?
Without the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase probable nothing. RNA viruses are retroviruses because they nee reverse tanscriptase to make a DNA copy from the RNA that is inserted into the cell. Generally to form a provirus. Now if you injected DNA from a regular virus then it would be as if the virus did it itself.
What is it called when the integrated DNA does not produce new HIV but remains hidden in the host cell's chromosomes?
Lysogenic cycle. Hidden in the DNA the virus is termed a provirus.
How are provirus and retrovirus the same?
A retrovirus is a virus that injects RNA into the cell, the RNA then goes through reverse-transcription. It gets turned into DNA and splices with the host cells DNA. Then the cell will make more RNA and produce protien. A provirus just injects DNA and either goes through the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle.
How are the normal functions of the host cell affected by the provirus?
A virus can: 1. Kill the host cell 2. Alter the cell; incorporate into the genetic material of the host cell, thus becoming part of its nucleic acid pool; or divide when the host cell divides.
What is a virus replication that includes the lysogenic cycle?
temperate viruses
