What is the flow of genetic information used by retroviruses for AIDS?
Retroviruses like HIV use RNA as their genetic material. When they infect a host cell, they convert their RNA into DNA using an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This DNA is then integrated into the host cell's genome, allowing the virus to hijack the cell's machinery to replicate itself.
Type of infection in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefintely?
The Lysogenic Cycle. The virus' DNA will integrate itself into the host cell's own DNA, such that the cell will continue to make copies of the virus for as long as it survives (and if it passes down its DNA to daughter cells).
What is a type of infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed?
A type of infection where the host cell bursts and is destroyed is known as a lytic infection. This process is commonly associated with viruses that infect bacteria, known as bacteriophages, where they replicate inside the host cell until it bursts, releasing new viral particles to infect other cells.
