Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Budding is the process by which enveloped viruses leave the host cell, where they acquire a portion of the host cell membrane to form their own envelope. Lysogeny is a process where a virus integrates its genome into the host cell's genome and becomes dormant. Penetration is the process by which a virus enters a host cell. Transduction is a mechanism by which bacterial DNA is transferred from one bacteria to another by a virus. Abduction is not a term related to viral replication.
