As a result, a virus can only infect certain cell types of certain species. proteins cell membrane Surface protein or glycoprotein Protein capsid Viral DNA or RNA Phospholipid envelope Enveloped Virus Naked Capsid Virus

12. Viral Reproduction Two ways viruses reproduce using a host cell • Lytic infection- _____________ cycle in which viruses ____________ host cell DNA.Examples are _________________________ ___________ • Lysogenic infection - _____________ cycle in which viral DNA is incorporated into ________________.
