Describe How New Viruses Are Produced in the Host Cell
Assembly viruses are. A free virus particle may be thought of as a packaging device by which viral genetic material can be introduced into appropriate host cells which the virus can recognize by means of proteins on its outermost surface. Virus Infections And Hosts Boundless Biology One of the viral genes expressed yields an RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase or RNA replicase which creates minus-strand RNA from the plus-strand genome. . Synthesis the viral proteins and nucleic acid copies are manufactured by the cells machinery. The last stage of viral replication is the release of the new virions produced in the host organism where they are able to infect adjacent cells and repeat the replication cycle. The AIDS virus attaches itself by glycoprotein on its surface to receptors on the helper T cell surface. After entering the host cell the virus synthesizes virus-encoded endonucleases to degrade the bacterial chromosome. New vir...
