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 else can I help you with?
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.
What is it called when a virus hides for a while as part of bacterial chromosome?
This process is known as lysogeny, where a virus integrates its genetic material into the chromosome of its host bacterium and remains dormant until conditions are favorable for reactivation.
What happens to the provirus when the host cell Divides?
When a host cell divides, the provirus, which is the viral DNA integrated into the host's genome, is replicated along with the host's DNA. As a result, each daughter cell inherits the proviral DNA, maintaining a reservoir of the virus within the host's cellular lineage. This allows the virus to persist in the host and can lead to subsequent viral reactivation and replication if conditions become favorable.
How are provirus and retrovirus the same?
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.
When the nucleic acid form a virus is incorporatre into the host cells DNA the viral nucleic acid is known as a?
When the nucleic acid of a virus is incorporated into the host cell's DNA, it is known as a provirus. This process occurs in certain viruses, particularly retroviruses, where the viral RNA is reverse-transcribed into DNA and integrated into the host genome. The provirus can remain dormant within the host's DNA and may be activated later to produce new viral particles.
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.
What is the difference of PROVIRUS and VIRION?
A provirus is the virus' genetic material integrated with the genetic material of the host cell. Some viruses stay in this form inside a cell until a specific stimulus causes the provirus to start to reproduce and lyse, or burst, the cell. For instance, some prophages (a provirus from a bacteriophage) the process doesn't continue until UV radiation hits the bacterium. A virion is the name of the actual virus particle. The virion is comprised of the capsid and the DNA (or RNA) of the virus. The term virion is used in a similar way that bacterium is when referring to a single bacterial cell. Some virions, such as HIV also have a phospholipid bilayer that they gain by 'budding' from the host cell. When a cell is lysed the provirus gives way to viral progeny, the virions.
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called 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 the mumps disease form a provirus?
No. The mumps virus is an enveloped single-stranded, linear negative-sense RNA virus of the Rubulavirus genus and Paramyxovirus family.
What type of infections pathway is associated with a prophage or provirus?
Lysogenic pathway is associated with a prophage or provirus infection. In this pathway, the genetic material of the virus gets integrated into the host cell's DNA and remains dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic pathway.
What is it called when a virus hides for a while as part of bacterial chromosome?
This process is known as lysogeny, where a virus integrates its genetic material into the chromosome of its host bacterium and remains dormant until conditions are favorable for reactivation.
How are the normal functions of the host affected by the provirus?
Because the provirus makes the host reproduce
What is it called when the integrated DNA does not produce new HIV but remains hidden in the host cell's chromosomes?
Lysogenic cycle. Hidden in the DNA the virus is termed a provirus.
What happens to the provirus when the host cell Divides?
When a host cell divides, the provirus, which is the viral DNA integrated into the host's genome, is replicated along with the host's DNA. As a result, each daughter cell inherits the proviral DNA, maintaining a reservoir of the virus within the host's cellular lineage.
