Slide 13 Figure 19-10a Page 421 Genetic material Surface proteins

Slide 14 Figure 19-10b Page 421 The viral genetic material uses the host cell's DNA to replicate again and again. Each new copy of the virus directs the cell to make it a protein shell. The new viruses emerge from the host cell capable of infecting other cells. This process often destroys the first cell. The virus attaches to the host cell. The entire virus may enter or it may inject its genetic material, or genome. Virus Cell membrane Host cell New viruses
