Description
11. Viral genes are expressed immediately
after the virus infects the host cell.
12. Many new viruses are assembled.
13. This cycle is preceded by a virus entering
a
host cell.
14. Viral DNA is integrated into the host
cell’s chromosome.
15. Viruses are released from the host cell by
lysis
or exocytosis.
16. The viral genes can remain dormant for
months or years.
