A retrovirus is a virus that injects RNA into the cell, the RNA then goes through reverse-transcription. It gets turned into DNA and splices with the host cells DNA. Then the cell will make more RNA and produce protien.
A provirus just injects DNA and either goes through the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle.

What is the fourth step during the multiplication of retrovirus?
The fourth step in retrovirus multiplication involves the integration of the viral DNA into the host cell's genome by the viral enzyme integrase. This integrated viral DNA, called a provirus, becomes a permanent part of the host cell's DNA and can be replicated along with the host cell's DNA during cell division.
Is a provirus a temperate virus?
Yes, a provirus is a type of temperate virus. A provirus is a form of a virus that has integrated its genetic material into the host cell's DNA, remaining dormant until it is activated. Temperate viruses can exist in both the lytic and lysogenic cycles, with the lysogenic cycle involving integration of viral DNA into the host genome to form a provirus.
A host chromosome with a viral gene inserted into it is a?
The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.
During the lysogenic cycle is a provirus part of a host cell's chromosome?
Yes, during the lysogenic cycle of a viral infection, a provirus integrates into the host cell's chromosome. The provirus DNA becomes part of the host cell's genetic material and is replicated along with the host DNA during cell division.
How is pathogen and provirus related?
A provirus is a form of a pathogen that has integrated into the host's DNA and can remain latent until it is activated to produce a new infectious virus. Pathogens can become proviruses by integrating their genetic material into the host cell's genome.

The fourth step in retrovirus multiplication involves the integration of the viral DNA into the host cell's genome by the viral enzyme integrase. This integrated viral DNA, called a provirus, becomes a permanent part of the host cell's DNA and can be replicated along with the host cell's DNA during cell division.
How are the normal functions of the host affected by the provirus?
Because the provirus makes the host reproduce
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
What is the significance of the formation of a provirus?
Proviruses are RNA fragments from viruses that become integrated into the DNA of the host. It will replicate as the host DNA does and cause no harm. However, they can become active and take over the cell as do other viruses. About 8% of human DNA is from proviruses and are called inherited endogenous (belong there) retrovirus.
What does a provirus cause?
a latent infection
Is a provirus a temperate virus?
Yes, a provirus is a type of temperate virus. A provirus is a form of a virus that has integrated its genetic material into the host cell's DNA, remaining dormant until it is activated. Temperate viruses can exist in both the lytic and lysogenic cycles, with the lysogenic cycle involving integration of viral DNA into the host genome to form a provirus.
What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the host cell reproduces, the provirus is replicated along with the host cell's DNA. As the host cell divides, each daughter cell also inherits a copy of the provirus, which integrates into the genome of the new cells.
Is covid19 a retrovirus?
no
A host chromosome with a viral gene inserted into it is a?
The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.
What is the difference between a common animal virus and a retrovirus?
The difference between a common animal virus and a retrovirus is that a retrovirus only contains RNA while a common animal virus will have DNA or RNA.
Is Swine Flu a retrovirus?
no
During the lysogenic cycle is a provirus part of a host cell's chromosome?
Yes, during the lysogenic cycle of a viral infection, a provirus integrates into the host cell's chromosome. The provirus DNA becomes part of the host cell's genetic material and is replicated along with the host DNA during cell division.
