Virus and Cells Recap

Front

What type of cell is characterized by the absence of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Prokaryotic cell.

Front

What cycle do viruses use to replicate when symptoms of infection appear within 48 hours?

Back

Lytic cycle.

Front

What is a common genetic material found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

DNA.

Front

How can viruses and bacteria be differentiated in terms of their living status?

Back

Viruses are non-living, while bacteria are living.

Front

What do viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes all have in common?

Back

They all contain DNA.

Front

What is the primary function of the lytic cycle in viral replication?

Back

To produce new virus particles by destroying the host cell.

Front

What is a defining feature of eukaryotic cells that distinguishes them from prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.

Front

What are the two main types of cells in biological classification?

Back

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the role of DNA in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

DNA carries genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle in viral replication?

Back

The lytic cycle results in the immediate destruction of the host cell, while the lysogenic cycle integrates viral DNA into the host's genome.
