Why is viral transcription temporarily regulated during the infectious cycle? How is such a regulation achieved? (Include positive and negative autoregulation and transcription cascades in the explanation.)
Claim: An individual virus docks on the surface of a cell, infects it, hijack the cellular machinery inside, and replicates itself, sometimes thousands of times. Justify with scientific reasoning how a virus can accomplish this.
What is the term for an infectious particle incapable of replicating outside of a cell, consisting of an RNA or DNA genome surrounded by a protein coat (capsid) and in some cases a membranous envelope?
