How do Viruses Reproduce?

Depending on the type of virus, it will either use the Lytic Cycle or the Lysogenic Cycle

Lytic Cycle Steps

100

Step 1:

The virus attaches to a host cell?

200

Step 2:

The virus inserts its DNA into the host cell?

300

Step 3:

Using the instructions from the virus’s DNA, the cell begins to build more viruses?

400

Step 4:

The cell will keep building until there’s too many viruses and the cell dies. 

And these new viruses will then look for a new cell to infect?

Lysogenic Cycle Steps

100

Step 1:

The virus attaches to a host cell and inserts DNA

200

Step 2:

The virus’s DNA becomes part of the host cell’s DNA, but remains dormant (inactive).

300

Step 3:

While the DNA is inactive, the cell divides.

400

Step 4:

The virus then becomes active and enters the lytic cycle. The cell begins to build viruses.

500

Step 5:

The cell will keep building until there’s too many viruses and the cell dies.
