Viruses

What is the function of the capsid in a virus?

• To produce energy

• To protect the nucleic acid

• To replicate the virus

• To attach to the host cell

During the lysogenic cycle, where is the viral DNA stored?

• In the host cell's cytoplasm

• In the host cell's membrane

• In the host cell's chromosomes

• In the host cell's ribosomes

What does the term 'endocytosis' refer to?

• The process of a virus bursting out of a host cell

• The process of a virus attaching to a host cell

• The process of a virus being engulfed by a host cell

• The process of a virus replicating its DNA

In the lytic cycle, what happens to the host cell's DNA?

• It is integrated with the viral DNA

• It is destroyed by the viral DNA

• It remains unchanged

• It replicates along with the viral DNA

What causes the host cell to burst in the lytic cycle?

• The host cell's immune response

• The accumulation of new viral particles

• The integration of viral DNA

• The host cell's natural death
