What effect will will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an organism?
it will cause a disease in the organism
What does the protein structure of a virus have to do with the attachment to host cells?
caspsid
In what cycle of viral replication does the virus destroy the host cell?
During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.
How does the structure of a virus help it survive?
The capsid of the cell helps the virus to infect host cells as well as multiply quickly.
What happens if a virus gets through a membrane?
The virus attempts to take over the host cell's DNA, and if successful, when the host cells divide via mitosis, instead of making copies of a healthy cell, the system produces new copies of the virus infected cell, which leads to an infection.
What is the first event that occurred when a virus infects the host cell?
The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.
What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on in organism?
It is in the "reproduction" process when in the lytic cycle, so the effect will be that the virus will force the organism to replicate more and more "baby" viruses. The host cells will eventually die or be killed when it splits open (or buds) to release the new virus particles. The new particles will infect more and more cells of the host, killing the host's cells each time they split, making the host feel sicker and sicker until their defense systems figure out how to kill the viruses.The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent.
What is the first event that occurs when a viruse a virus infects a host cell?
the virus attaches to the host cells membrane
What is a process that a virus can do in a host?
First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!
What are some effects the quokkapox virus has on the host?
The effects that the quokkapox virus has on the host is weakening the immune system. The other effect of the quokkapox virus is that the host will get pox lesions.
What does a virus ultimately do to the host cell?
After leaving the host cell, the virus goes to insert its DNA into even more cells. After a while, there are thousands of cells with the DNA of the virus. With that DNA, the cells make more viruses. There are two cycles for this; Lytic and Lysogenic.
What effect will will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an organism?
it will cause a disease in the organism
What property of a virus determines its attachment to a host cell membrane?
The protein arrangement on the capsid.
What effect will a virus in lytic cycle have on an organism?
It is in the "reproduction" process when in the lytic cycle, so the effect will be that the virus will force the organism to replicate more and more "baby" viruses. The host cells will eventually die or be killed when it splits open (or buds) to release the new virus particles. The new particles will infect more and more cells of the host, killing the host's cells each time they split, making the host feel sicker and sicker until their defense systems figure out how to kill the viruses.The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent.
What is a host cell for a virus?
Host cells of viruses include human and other animals, and plants and fungi. Also bacteria and protozoa and algae are host cells of viruses.
Is a host a living thing as in cells?
Yes, the host is living, whether it be a host for a virus, a worm, or a bacterium.
How do virus propagate?
Viruses replicate by hijacking a host's cells. The virus inserts its own RNA sequence into the host cell's nucleus, forcing it to replicate the virus until the host cell dies.
