Protein synthesis

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have them.

Front

What is the role of the capsid in a virus?

Back

To protect the viral genome and assist in the delivery of the genome into host cells.

Front

What is the lysogenic cycle in bacteriophages?

Back

A cycle where the viral genome integrates into the host genome and replicates with it without causing immediate lysis.

Front

What is the lytic cycle in bacteriophages?

Back

A cycle where the virus replicates within the host cell and causes cell lysis, releasing new viral particles.
