drag and drop the correct answer choice to each answer blank. or, touch the answer choice followed by the answer blank.
complete the following paragraph that describes the action of viruses in causing infectious diseases. drag each term or phrase into the correct location within the paragraph.
host cell lysogenic lytic proteins
viruses enter the organism they are infecting in a variety of ways, such as through cuts or scrapes or inhaling particles. once inside, viruses have a particular target called the
. surface
on the outside of the virus act like a lock and key, allowing it to enter. viruses can then engage in one of two common life cycles.
the
cycle causes immediate infection, commandeering the host cell to make more viral particles. the
cycle, however, might remain
embedded into the host cells dna indefinitely before causing illness.

Explanation:

Viruses target host cells. Their surface proteins help entry. Lytic cycle causes immediate infection. Lysogenic cycle may embed in host DNA before causing illness.

Answer:

1. Host Cell
2. Proteins
3. Lytic
4. Lysogenic
