What does a bacterium discard when a virus enters?
the outer coat
What is lysogeny?
Lysogeny is when a virus incorporates its genetic material into its hostâ??s genome. This allows the virus to remain dormant until it enters the lytic stage, during which the virus reproduces.
Why are the virus proteins important?
They form the capsid that encloses the genetic material and retroviruses contain the protein enzyme reverse transcriptase. Also the proteins, especial glycoproteins, are the key that enters the lock of a cells protein markers.
Do viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell?
Yes viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell. This happens when a virus enters a host cell.
Describe what happens to the host cell of a lysogenic virus?
In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA or RNA enters the cell and integrates into the host DNA as a new set of genes called prophage. That is, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell's genetic material. It does not destroy the host cell.
What is the portion of the virus that actually enters the host cell?
its genetic material
What do B cells produce when an infectious bacterium enters the body?
When an infectious bacterium enters the body, the B cell makes proteins called "antibodies."
Why was Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase's experiment so important?
In their experiments, Hershey and Chase showed that when bacteriophages, which are composed of DNA and protein, infect bacteria, their DNA enters the host bacterial cell, but most of their protein does not. Although the results were not conclusive, and Hershey and Chase were cautious in their interpretation, previous, contemporaneous and subsequent discoveries all served to prove that DNA is the hereditary material.
When a T2 bacteriophage infects an E. coli cell what part of the phage enters the bacterial cytoplasm?
the whole phage
What are difference between macrophage and bacteriophage?
bacteriophage is a virus that kills bacteria
What does a bacterium discard when a virus enters?
the outer coat
What causes Actinomycosis?
usually caused by the bacterium Actinomyces israelii. This bacterium is normally present in the mouth but can cause disease if it enters tissues following an injury. Actinomyces israelii is an anaerobic bacterium
What part of a virus does not enter the host?
Generally, the protein coat that surrounds the viral genetic material and any reverse trascriptase enzymes. This capsid stays outside the cell attacked while the genetic material and whatever else is needed is injected into the cell or the capsid merges with the cell membrane and the vital viral material enters the cell.
What is lysogeny?
Lysogeny is when a virus incorporates its genetic material into its hostâ??s genome. This allows the virus to remain dormant until it enters the lytic stage, during which the virus reproduces.

What is the bending of a wave as it enters a new material called?
