5 Steps to a 5 questions 270-274

Learning Intentions

• We will learn the general characteristics of viruses.

• We will learn how viral replication differs from other reproductive strategies and generates variation via various mechanisms such as the lytic and lysogenic cycles.

• We will learn how the reproductive cycles of viruses facilitate transfer of genetic information.  

Closing Task

You can create a foldable that show aspects of both virus cycles.
