• Lytic Infection

• Retrovirus

• Lysogenic Infection

• Nucleic Acid Infection

Multiple Choice

For a virus to reproduce, the virus must reproduce in a ____________ _______________.

• Host cell

• Cop Cell

Multiple Choice

A viral infection is a longer infection in which the virus takes over the organism's cell without the cell's immune system realizing a foreign microbe is in the cell. The virus will continue to replicate its genetic material until stress is placed on the cell. The virus will switch to other viral infection can the host cell will burst to which it will infect the other cells.
