What are the 5 steps that active viruses do to a living cell?
Attach- Floats around until it ATTACHES to the living cell
Inject- it INJECTS its genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the cell
Takes Over- The genetic material of the virus TAKES OVER the host cell
Copies- Inside the cell, the genetic material is COPIED and all protien needed to make more virus molecules is produced.
Infection- When the host cell is full of new virus molecules, it bursts open to release them- this is called INFECTION
