six phases of the viral replication cycle

Question 1

1. adsorption

Answer 1

when a virion attaches to a cell membrane, absorbed into cell membrane

Question 2

2. penetration

Answer 2

enzymes that are normally on cell membrane are weakened and thus allowed the virion to penetrate through the cell membrane and enter the cell

Question 3

3. uncoating

Answer 3

protective coat of virion goes away and now you have virus inside the cell ready for replicaiton

Question 4

4. replication

Answer 4

happens inside the host cell as long as the host cell does not have a way of stop it from happening

Question 5

5. assembly

Answer 5

virus matures here, virus assembles in order to escape from original cell

Question 6

6. release

Answer 6

when new virions are released from host cell and move on to the next cell to keep replicating. Original virion is the only one left in the host cell
