(a)
To provide:
An example of an oncogenic virus and also explain the unique properties of its multiplication cycle that allow it to trigger cancer development.
Introduction:
The virus is defined as the biological agent that can reproduce inside the live host cell. After infection, the host cell produces thousands of identical copies of viruses. They can infect living organisms such as animals, plants, other microorganisms, and humans.
(b)
To compare:
Contrast the processes of latency and lysogeny and also provide examples of latent viruses and lysogenic viruses.
