Cards

Term
1. Attachment
2. Penetration or entry
3. Synthesis
4. Assembly
5. Release
Definition
5 stages of viral replication cycle
Term
Latent Period
Definition
Eclipse and maturation stages of virus
Term
Eclipse
Definition
infectious particles are removed from the environment through attachment to host cells, thus can no longer infect other cells
Viral nucleic acid or vision enter the host cell and replication of proteins and viral nucleic acid begins
Term
Maturation
Definition
virus nucleic acids and proteins are assembled into visions inside the host cell so no detection of newly created visions in the medium yet
Term
burst size
Definition
number of visions released
varies with particular viruses and their host cells from few to 1000s
Term
uncoating
Definition
the process in which the vision loses its outer coat and the viral genome is exposed
can occur inside or outside of the cell
Term
eukaryotes: immune system, RNAi
prokaryotes: CRISPR and endonucleases
Definition
How do cells protect against viruses?
Term
David Baltimore Classification System

based on relationship of viral genome to mRNa
Definition
How are viruses grouped?
Term
positive-strand RNA viruses
Definition
single-stranded RNA genome with the same orientation as its mRNA
Term
negative-strand RNA viruses
Definition
single-stranded RNA genome with orientation complementary to its mRNA
Term
retroviruses
Definition
animal viruses responsible for causing certain types of cancers and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

have ssRNA in visions but replicate through dsDNA intermediate
Term
reverse transcription
Definition
process of copying the information stored in RNA into DNA via a hybrid RNA-DNA intermediate
Term
reverse transcriptase
Definition
enzyme that copies RNA into DNA
Term
early proteins
Definition
needed for replication of viral nucleic acid so synthesized soon after infection
Term
late proteins
Definition
proteins found in the viral coat, structural proteins, etc. synthesized later after infection
