CHARACTERISTICS OF
VIRUS
The most common structure of phages consists of a long nucleic acid molecule
coiled within a polyhedral head. Phages exhibit two types of reproduction: lytic and
lysogenic cycle.
LYTIC REPRODUCTIVE
CYCLE
• In contrast with virulent virus, temperate virus do not always destroy their hosts
• In lysogenic cycle, the viral genome become integrated into the host bacterial
cell, referred to as prophage
• When the bacterial DNA replicates, the phropage also replicates
• There are four steps in this cycle: Attachment, Penetration, Integration,
Replication
• Can refer to the diagram
ANIMAL VIRUS
• Plant cells cannot be penetrated by virus because of the thick cell wall
unless the cells are damaged.
• As insects e.g. aphids and leafhoppers feed on plant tissues, they
brings virus and spread it among plants.
• Once a plant cell is infected, the virus spreads through the plant body.
• Symptoms of viral infection include reduced plant size, spots, streaks,
or mottled patterns on leaves, flowers or fruits.
