| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a virus? | a biological particle or pathogen |
| What does the name virus come from? | Latin for poison |

| What is the lysogenic cycle? | virus invades cell and becomes part of DNA |
| Step? | attachment, entry, intergration, virus DNA open and join forming a provirus, cell division, 2 host cells with provirus |
| What can a provirus do? | change phenotype of host, prevent other viruses from entering host, pull out of host DNA and enter lytic cycle |

| What is binary fission? | split in two--like mitosis |
| What is conjugation? | transfer to an acceptor bacteria through a small bridge |
| What role do spores play? | buds form and produce new cells, spores can survive before hatching |
| Advantages of bacteria? | human intestine, food production, culturation, decomposers, nitrogen fixation, producers |
