I'll do my best to help, but do keep in mind that this is just an educated guess on my part.
Characteristics of Living Viruses:
- Uses energy (nonliving things can't use energy, for obvious reasons)
- Exhibits growth and development (for the same reasons as above, nonliving things can't grow)
- Made up of one or more cells (cells are alive, so nonliving viruses can't be made up of living things)
- Possesses internal organization (viruses can be complex, as most living things are)
- Eliminates waste
Characteristics of Nonliving Viruses:
- Defined boundary (this is a bit vague because a defined boundary isn't suggestive of life or not, so it could really be either or)
Because most of the answers fit with the living characteristics, it makes me think there is something wrong with my answer, but I did some research and that seems pretty accurate. However, I'm not a professional, so I could be wrong. I'm sorry I couldn't help more
Lysogenic cycle commonly
occur in eukaryotes and is a process where viral DNA or RNA is integrated into
the host cell as a new set of genes called prophage. However, the Viral DNA
becomes the part of the cells genetic materials.
Steps involves during
lysogenic cycle:
1) Cell enters the viral genome
2) Integration of the viral genome into the host cell genome
3) Viral chromosome is copied by the host cell using DNA
polymerase
4) Cell division occurs and transfers of virus chromosomes
to the daughter cell
5) Any trigger in virus will result into detachment of viral
genome from the host cell’s DNA.
Answer:
for a hypothesis to be part of an accepted theory, it must have been extensively tested through experiments under different conditions
