7. Viruses Dead or Alive? Can’t reproduce by itself Doesn’t move No homeostasis What do you think? Structure-see book pictures for tail,DNA, Capsid, Coat Phage=typically used as another word for virus, means that it is infectious.

8. Viral Cycle Need: 1 virus, 1 host-cell specific to the virus. Viral recognition-viruses disguise themselves w/ their protein coat so that bacteria let them in (they “think” that the virus is something needed.) The virus then attaches and pumps in its provirus (DNA), which joins w/ the host’s DNA for replication. (see camera)

9. Cycles continued Lytic cycle-viral cycle where the host is reprogrammed and killed immediately. Lysogenic cycle-viral cycle where the viral DNA is inactive for a time before reproduction. Lysogenic cycle explains how viruses, like HIV, HSV, etc. can hide and not appear for some time. Lytic cycle=common cold.

10. Retroviruses Don’t contain DNA, have RNA provirus in stead. Problem: host has DNA, which can’t join w/ provirus. Solution: inject an enzyme (reverse transcriptase) that can make DNA from the provirus to be inserted into host DNA. See camera Ex: HIV
