Learning Objectives for "Animal Virus Life Cycles: The Productive Life Cycle"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1**. When given information about a virus in terms of how it penetrates the host cell, whether it has a DNA or RNA genome, and how it is released, describe how an enveloped virus accomplishes each of the steps of the productive life cycle listed below. (Tailor the life cycle to that virus.)

A. viral attachment or adsorption to the host cell

B. viral entry into the host cell

C. viral movement to the site of replication within the host cell

D. viral replication within the host cell

E. viral assembly or maturation within the host cell

F. viral release from the host cell

2**. When given information about a virus in terms of how it penetrates the host cell, whether it has a DNA or RNA genome, and how it is released, describe how a naked virus accomplishes each of the steps of the productive life cycle listed below. (Tailor the life cycle to that virus.)

A. viral attachment or adsorption to the host cell

B. viral entry into the host cell

C. viral movement to the site of replication within the host cell

D. viral replication within the host cell

E. viral assembly or maturation within the host cell

F. viral release from the host cell
