Once inside a cell, the virus releases its DNA or RNA (which contains the information needed to create new virus particles) and takes control of some aspects of the cell's metabolism. The components of the virus are then manufactured inside the cell and must be properly assembled for the virus to be released and remain infectious.

∙ 11y agoIn the lytic cycle, the viral DNA can maintain a separate existence from the host DNA, but the host DNA replicates the viral DNA. The replicated viruses eventually become so numerous that the cell bursts releasing the new viruses which can then affect more cells. Another viral mechanism, the lysogenic cycle, involves combining the viral DNA with the host DNA, which will be passed on to daughter cells during cell reproduction. Eventually, during unfavorable, conditions, the lytic cycle will occur, and the infected cells will start replicating viruses, which will then eventually cause the cell to burst, releasing the new viruses.

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.
In the lytic cycle the host cell?
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 lysogenic conversion?
When viral DNA enters into an inactive prophage state in a cell
What is viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA called?
The introduction of viral DNA into the host genetic structure is called lysogeny. And this is lysogenic cycle.
Steps which a active virus copies itself and destroys a cell?
The virus attaches to a specific host cell. Then the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Then the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Then new viruses form inside of the host cell. Then the new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. there are so many then in my witing

What happens after genetically modified plasmids inserted into bacteria?
Plasmids are cloned and start producing protein .
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 enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?
integrase

The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cell's chromosome is called the?
lysogenic
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?
motor cycle
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.
What is viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA called?
The introduction of viral DNA into the host genetic structure is called lysogeny. And this is lysogenic cycle.
What is the role of integrase in HIV?
The role integrase plays in HIV is that it fuses viral DNA with host DNA.
The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cell's chromosome is called the cycle?
B) Lysogenic
