 1. 

How is the lytic cycle different from the lysogenic?
a.
the lytic cycle involves replication of viral DNA while the lysogenic cycle does not
b.
the lytic cycle causes the rupture of the cell and release of virus particles while the lysogenic involves incorporation of viral DNA into host DNA
c.
the lytic cycle incorporation of viral DNA into host DNA while the lysogenic involves causes the rupture of the cell and release of virus particles
d.
the lytic cycle affects bacteria only but the lysogenic cycle can affect eukaryotes
 

 2. 

What is a bacteriophage?
a.
pathogenic bacterium
c.
a prokaryotic cell that engulfs other prokaryotes
b.
protist that consumes bacteria
d.
virus that infects bacteria
 

 3. 

Which of the following happens during the early stage of the lytic cycle?  Choose all that apply.
 a.
transcription  of viral genes to create the capsid
 b.
repression of host cell gene expression
 c.
lysis of the host cell membrane
 d.
degradation of host cell mRNA before it can be translated
 e.
digestion of the host cell’s chromosomes
 f.
release of virions from the host cell
 

 4. 

A retrovirus is
a.
a virus from the 1970s.
b.
a virus that only uses the lysogenic cycle of replication.
c.
a DNA virus that transcribes its genetic material into RNA.
d.
an RNA virus that can “reverse transcribe” DNA.
 

 5. 

A provirus is _____ and plays an imprtant role in the _____ cycle.
a.
viral genes incorporated into host DNA; lytic
b.
viral genes incorporated into host DNA; lysogenic
c.
newly replicated viral particles (virons); lytic
d.
newly replicated viral particles (virons); lysogenic
 

 6. 

How does HIV prevent its host cell’s defense mechanism?
a.
it has a protein that binds to the termination complex, which allows the transcription of  the viral gene
b.
host terminator proteins bind to mRNA to block translation
c.
it incorporates its DNA directly into the host cell’s chromosome before it can be detected
d.
it contains slightly different types nucleotides that are not recognized by the host cell
