|
4 common virus characteristics |
1. protein coat - capsid 2. nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) 3. Rely on other cells for replication 4. small 10-400 nm in length |
|
endocytosis |
process in which viruses are moved into the cell |
|
enzyme found in retrovirus |

|
6 steps to HIV reproduction |
1. attachment - virus binds to receptor on host cell 2. entry - capsid enters cell releasing viral RNA and R.T. 3. reverse transcription - makes DNA from viral RNA. Viral DNA integrates into host DNA 4. biosynthesis - DNA transcription, mRNA translation, proteins. 5. maturation - viral protein s assemble to make new viruses 6. release - new viruses leave cell and destroy T-cell. |
