|
Protein shell enclosing the viral genome
|
Capsid
|
|
Membrane that cloaks the capsid that in turn encloses a viral genome
|
Viral envelope
|
|
Viruses that infect bacteria
|
Bacteriophage/phage
|
|
Limited variety of hosts a phage can infect
|
Host range
|
|
Phage reproductive cycle that culminates in the death of the host cell
|
Lytic cycle
|
|
Phage that reproduces only by the lytic cycle
|
Virulent phage
|
|
Endonuclease that recognizes &cuts DNA molecules foreign to a bacterium
|
Restriction enzyme
|
|
Allows replication of the phage without destroying the host
|
Lysogenic cycle
|
|
Phage capable of using both modes of reproducing within a bacterium
|
Temperate phage
|
|
Phage genome that has been inserted in to a specific site on a bacterial chromosome
|
Prophage
|
|
RNA virus that reproduces by transcribing its RNA into DNA &then inserting the DNA into a cellular chromosome
|
Retrovirus
|
|
Transcribes and RNA template into DNA, providing and RNA --> DNA information flow, the opposite of the usual
|
Reverse Transcriptase
|
|
The retrovirus that causes AIDS
|
HIV
|
|
Symptoms and signs present during the late stages of HIV infection, defined by a specified reduction in the # of T cells & the appearance of characteristic secondary infections
|
AIDS
|
|
Integrated viral DNA that never leaves the host's genome, remaining a permanent resident of the cell
|
Provirus
|
