| adenovirus | the virus that causes the common cold |
| bacteriophage | virus that infects bacterial cells |
| capsid | the protein coat of a virus |
| host cell | a cell in which a virus replicates |
| lysogenic | the cycle in which the virus's nucleic acid is integrated into the host cell's chromosome |
| lytic | viruses that infect cells and kill them immediately (cause disease) go through this cycle |
| provirus | virual DNA that is incorporated into the host cell's DNA |
| retrovirus | a virus with an inner core of RNA |
| reverse transcriptase | an enzyme found in a retrovirus that helps produce viral DNA from viral RNA |
| virus | a nonliving particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein coat |
| virulent viruses | viruses that go through the lytic cycle; common cold virus, rubella, and mumps |
| temperate viruses | viruses that go through the lysogenic cycle and retrovirus cycle; includes wart virus, cold sores, HIV, and shingles |
| attachment | first stage of lytic, lysogenic and retrovirus cycles in which the viruse attaches to receptors on the surface of the host cell |
| entry | the second stage of virus cycle |
| replication | the third stage of the lytic cycle in which viral parts are made |
| assembly | fourth stage of lytic cycle in which viral parts are assembled |
| lysis and release | fifth stage of the lytic cycle in which viruses release enzymes to weaken the cell's membrane and burst the cell releasing the newly formed viruses |
| How viruses are named | what I need to know for the test in addition to the details of your notes and diagrams, etc. |
| receptor site | a molecular shape found on the surface of a host cell |
| tumor viruses | viruses that may cause cancer |
