Summary Introduction

To answer:

The latent phase of the viral genome in host cell, and it is regarded safe to cell.

Introduction:

The viruses are obligate organisms that show signs of life only inside a host. Outside the host, they either die or do not show any sign of life. They invade the host cell to carry out their function like replication. A particular virus infects a particular host cell. The invaded host cell acts as machinery for the viruses. Depending upon the state of the virus, they can carry out either lytic cycle or lysogenic cycle.

As a general rule, viruses are not considered to be alive based on several reasons. One such reason is that some viruses use RNA as their genetic material instead of DNA. Which of the five biological themes does this violate? Briefly explain why.
How common is ABV in the USA?     In the United States, over half of adults have been infected with ABV by age 40. Once ABV is in a person's body, it stays there for life and can reactivate.  Match terms with descriptions based on the text above. You can use an answer more than once or not at all.                                                             "Over half of adults have been infected with ABV by age 40."                                                             ABV could belong to this group of viruses: A. Human Papilloma Viruses B. Incidence of ABV C. Herpesviruses D. Prevalence of ABV by age 40
An antimicrobial drug binds to the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing it from working. Which of the following is true of this drug?     It would inhibit early replication steps of some viruses, but not affect normal eukaryotic cell activity.     It would directly interfere with translation of some viral proteins and some eukaryotic proteins.     It would block assembly/maturation steps of some viruses, and interfere with translation in eukaryotic cells.     It would interfere with release of newly formed viruses from a host cell, but not affect eukaryotic cells.     It would interfere with protein synthesis in bacteria, but not affect eukaryotic ribosomes.     It would interfere with mRNA transcription in bacteria and viruses, but not affect eukaryotic transcription.
