Question

Describe how and where viruses reproduce and the function of RNA and DNA in this process.

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the host's cellular metabolism, the viral DNA begins to replicate and form proteins. Then fully formed viruses assemble. These viruses break, or lyse, the cell and spread to other cells to continue the cycle. Like the lytic cycle, in the lysogenic cycle the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA.
