  2. Lytic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytic_cycle

    The lytic cycle results in the destruction of the infected cell and its membrane. Bacteriophages that can only go through the lytic cycle are called virulent phages (in contrast to temperate phages). In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA exists as a separate free floating molecule within the bacterial cell, and replicates separately from the host ...

  3. Arbitrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrium

    The lytic pathway causes the host to produce and release progeny virions, usually killing it in the process. The lysogenic pathway involves the virus inserting itself into the bacterium's chromosome. At a later stage, the viral genome is activated, and it continues along the lytic pathway of producing and releasing progeny virions.

  4. Transduction (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(genetics)

    Transduction happens through either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. When bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) that are lytic infect bacterial cells, they harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the host bacterial cell to make new viral particles . The new phage particles are then released by ...

  5. Viral replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_replication

    Viruses may undergo two types of life cycles: the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus introduces its genome into a host cell and initiates replication by hijacking the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus. [12] In the lysogenic life cycle, the viral genome is incorporated into the host genome.

    Life cycle process. Viral entry. For the virus to reproduce and thereby establish infection, it must enter cells of the host organism and use those cells' materials. ...

  7. Prophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophage

    After induction, viral replication begins via the lytic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus commandeers the cell's reproductive machinery. The cell may fill with new viruses until it lyses or bursts, or it may release the new viruses one at a time in an exocytotic process. The period from infection to lysis is termed the latent period. A virus ...

  8. Lysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysis

    Lysis (/ ˈ l aɪ s ɪ s / LY-sis; from Greek λῠ́σῐς lýsis 'loosening') is the breaking down of the membrane of a cell, often by viral, enzymic, or osmotic (that is, "lytic" / ˈ l ɪ t ɪ k / LIT-ik) mechanisms that compromise its integrity. A fluid containing the contents of lysed cells is called a lysate.

  9. For Dummies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Dummies

    The books are an example of a media franchise, consistently sporting a distinctive cover—usually yellow and black with a triangular-headed cartoon figure known as the "Dummies Man", and an informal, blackboard-style logo. Prose is simple and direct; bold icons, such as a piece of string tied around an index finger, are placed in the margin to ...
