Concept explainers

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Question

1. If you knew the amino acid sequence of a peptide could you use that information to find the gene in a pool of genomic DNA. If so, how might you do this.

2. What is the difference between lytic and lysogenic viral replication?
