Compare and contrast the lytic and lysogenic viral replication cycles.
Lytic - faster cycle, feel sick sooner, host cell lyses, full recovery
Lysogenic - longer cycle, symptoms appear later, host cell does not lyse, virus remains dormant

Explain how finches in the Galapagos Islands exemplified gene flow and speciation.
Many species of finches were developed from one original species. These species were developed based on selective pressures on their new islands.

Explain the process of a virus infecting a cell and undergoing the lytic cycle.
1. Virus attaches to cell.
2. Virus injects DNA into the cell.
3. Virus DNA + Host DNA = Provirus
4. Virus material/new viruses are made.
5. Cell lyses and releases new viruses.
