Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

Virus is composed of viral capsid which is composed of proteins which also acts as epitope. These epitopes are the antigenic presenting sites which are recognized by our immune system. Inside this capsid, viral genome is present which can be either DNA or RNA, this DNA can be either single stranded or double stranded. Along with these some viruses can also have outer covering or lipid envelope.

Step 2

Viruses have two type of life cycle either Lytic cycle or Lysogenic life cycle.

In the lytic life cycle, it infects the host enters into it, multiplies aggressively into the host cell by hijacking its replicative machinery and ultimately release its progeny by bursting the host cell.

Where in the lysogenic life cycle it infects the host and keeps on multiplying at normal rate in the host cell. It resides in the host cell till the favourable conditions lasts, when they sense the unfavourable condition arises it rapidly divides, package its genome into the capsid and release out from the host cell by killing it.

Some viruses prefer lysogeny over lytic life cycle.
