- 3. a virus that parasitizes a bacterium by infecting it and reproducing inside it.
- 5. Viral replication is the formation of biological viruses during the infection process in the target host cells. ... Through the generation of abundant copies of its genome and packaging these copies, the virus continues infecting new hosts.
- 6. one of the two cycles of viral reproduction (referring to bacterial viruses or bacteriophages), the other being the lysogenic cycle. The lytic cycle results in the destruction of the infected cell and its membrane.
- 7. the protein coat or shell of a virus particle, surrounding the nucleic acid or nucleoprotein core.
- 8. A molecular site or the docking port on the surface of, or within, a cell, usually involving proteins that are capable of recognizing and binding with specific molecules.
- 10. a small petrel of southern seas, having a wide bill fringed with comblike plates for feeding on planktonic crustaceans.

- 1. Lysogeny, or the lysogenic cycle, is one of two cycles of viral reproduction. Lysogeny is characterized by integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the host bacterium's genome or formation of a circular replicon in the bacterial cytoplasm.
- 2. a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.
- 4. The protein coat is made up of protein subunits called capsomere. Additional layer of lipid molecules may envelope the protein coat.
- 9. any of a group of RNA viruses which insert a DNA copy of their genome into the host cell in order to replicate,
