|
Capsid |
protein coat |
|
|
Lyses |
burst |
|
|
Attachment |
virus activated with contact with right kind of host cell and injects its DNA, and copies itselfq |
|
|
Biosynthesis |
the virus take over host cell machinery, destroying host cell DNA, and copies itself |
|
|
Release |
the host cell becomes filled with copies of the virus' protein coat and DNA and eventually lyses (bursts -- host cell is destroyed) and releases hundreds of virus particles that may now infect other cells |
|
|
Dormant |
inactive |
|
|
Reverse Transcription |
copy DNA from RNA after infection |
|
|
