A lytic virus begins to multiply right away. A lysogenic virus can "hide" for a very long time before multiplying.
See link below:
protein
RNA or DNA depending on the type of virus.
Hijacks the cellular machinery and enters a lytic or lysogenic lifecycle.
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
Hidden viruses, I believe.
protein
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.
The cell becomes a virus breeding machine the virus takes over the cell and uses it to make more viruses
Once the virus enters the cell, unless it is deformed in some way, it will have success.
RNA or DNA depending on the type of virus.
A Latent Virus
Hijacks the cellular machinery and enters a lytic or lysogenic lifecycle.
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
its genetic material
ex. a virus enters a cell, replicates, and then "lyses" (ruptures) the cell. those virus particles are now free to infect other cells.
Latent Viruses: some viruses can be latent. That means that after the virus enters a cell, its hereditary material can become part of the cell's hereditary material.
when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.
