Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences and comparison between entry step in the reproductive cycle of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and phage λ (Lambda).
Introduction:
Virus lies in the category of non-living entitiesascannot carry out their own reproduction. They can only produce more of their own kind by depending on the cellular machinery of host cells. The reproductive cycle of a majority of virusesconsists offive to six common steps. These are attachment, entry, integration, synthesis of the components of the virus, assembly of the virus, and its release.
