Genes turned on by an inducer
Protein coat made of capsomeres
Cold sores, shingles and herpes are all examples of this type of viral infection
Infectious RNA molecules that lack a protein coat
Transcription stops when RNA polymerase reaches this sequence
How the leading strand is synthesized
Enables provirus formation
A bacterial cell containing a prophage
The molecular study of genomes
Found in New Guinea tribal populations that practiced mortuary cannibalism
Viruses that infect bacteria
Examples of these are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
All the genetic information in a cell
Mutation that results in the same amino acid code
Critical in virus assembly and release
Virus family names end in this
One organism benefits and the other is unaffected
An obligate intracellular parasite that contains either DNA or RNA but not both and is enclosed by an envelope
Agent that causes mutations
Phage life cycle that culminates with host cell bursting and releasing virions
Viral proteins that are responsible for host cell specificity, they attach a virion to the host cell for infection, and some have other roles as well
