Viruses replicate by attaching to host cells, injecting their nucleic acid, using the host cell for protein synthesis and viral component assembly, and finally releasing new virus particles that kill the host cell.
I virus si replicano attaccandosi alle cellule ospiti, iniettando il loro acido nucleico, utilizzando la cellula ospite per la sintesi proteica e l'assemblaggio dei componenti virali, e infine rilasciando nuove particelle virali che uccidono la cellula ospite.
| Front | Describe how viruses generally replicate. |
|---|---|
| Back | - virus uses attachment proteins to attach to host cell - inject nucleic acid - viral nucleic acid used for protein synthesis - viral components assembled by host cell - new virus particles produced at exponential rate - new virus particles released, KILLING HOST CELL |
