The Lysogenic Lifecycle

Today we did a Lab on the Lysogenic Lifecycle.


Directions:

1) Draw out the Lysogenic Lifecycle. Be sure to include all the phases: Attachment, Penetration, Pre-Replication, Replication, Assembly, Cell Division and then kicks into the Lytic Lifecycle starting with the Pre-Replication stage.

2)For each stage please discuss what is actually happening in detail.

3) Write a paragraph that explains why a virus using the Lysogenic Lifecycle is more difficult for a human being to deal with. Also give at least 4 examples of viruses that use the Lysogenic Lifecycle.

4) As we stated yesterday those with the greatest detail and with inclusion of color will receive the higher scores.
