In the _____ cycle , the viral DNA inserts, or integrates, into a chromosome in a host cell.

Which is not a step in retorviral replication?

• Reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA using the viral RNA as a template.

• When the virus attaches to a cell, the virus moves into the cytoplasm of the host cell and the viral RNA is released.

• The viral genes instruct the host cell to make more viral protein capsids and enzymes needed for viral replication.

• The DNA moves into the nucleus of the host cell and integrates into a chromosome.

Viruses consist of a _____ , an outer layer made of proteins, and _______ material, which could be DNA or RNA.

A virus that has RNA instead of DNA for its genetic material is called a ______ and it has a complex replication cycle.

In the ______ _______ the host cell makes many copies of the viral RNA or DNA.
