What happens during the lysogenic cycle of a viral infection?

During the lysogenic cycle, the virus inserts its genetic material into the host cell's genome and remains dormant. The host cell continues to replicate normally, passing the viral genetic material onto its daughter cells. When conditions are favorable, the lysogenic cycle can transition into the lytic cycle, where the virus becomes active and starts to replicate, eventually causing the host cell to burst and release new viral particles.


What enzyme is referred to as Akt?

Akt is the enzyme which is known as protein kinase B. Its scientific term is thymoma viral proto-oncogene and its particular job is to help promote cellular revival.


Viral DNA inserts itself into the bacterial chromosome during?

the process of lysogeny. This occurs when the viral DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome, becoming a prophage. The integrated viral DNA replicates along with the bacterial DNA until conditions favor the virus to become active and enter the lytic cycle.


What would the HIV viral sequence of AUCUU be converted to and by what enzyme?

The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.


How does enzyme restriction limit the affect of a virus?

Enzyme restriction acts as a defense mechanism by cutting viral DNA at specific recognition sites, preventing the virus from replicating effectively in the host cell. This limits the virus's ability to spread and cause infection.

What enzyme in the human body is used to repel an invading virus?

The enzyme used to repel an invading virus in the human body is interferon. Interferons are proteins released by cells in response to viral infections, and they help to activate the immune system and inhibit viral replication.

Most RNA viruses carry which enzymes?

Most RNA viruses carry RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) enzyme, which is responsible for replicating the viral RNA genome within host cells. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle by synthesizing complementary RNA strands from viral RNA templates.


Which part of the virus enters the bacteria and produced more viruses?

The virus attaches to the outer cell wall,inserts its DNA. It takes the cells functions over and starts a viral factory.

How are plasmids helpful to a bacterium?

It is thought that in bacteria a plasmid can be used as a defense mechanism for fighting viruses. When the virus inserts itself to the bacteria, the bacteria can use its enzymes to disconnect the plasmid and carry the viral nucleic acid with it.
