Understanding Viruses: Structure, Life Cycle, and Impact

This text provides an in-depth exploration of viruses, including their structure, replication, and interaction with host cells. Learn about the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus, the tobacco mosaic virus, adenoviruses, bacteriophage T4, and more. Gain a comprehensive understanding of viral entry, uncoating, transcription, RNA synthesis, and self-assembly. Explore both the lytic and lysogenic cycles and discover the impact of viruses on host cells.

PhageDNA Bacterialchromosome Prophage Lytic cycle Lysogenic cycle • Temperate phage only• Genome integrates into bacterial chromosome as prophage, which (1) is replicated and passed on to daughter cells and (2) can be induced to leave the chromosome and initiate a lytic cycle • Virulent or temperate phage• Destruction of host DNA• Production of new phages• Lysis of host cell causes release of progeny phages
