Discuss the infection of a bacterium by a virus. Include the steps in the correct order from attachment to lysis. How does this differ from the virus replication cycle in animals? Explain the difference between the lytic cycle, lysogeny, and slow release. Also include the bacterial defense mechanism bacteria have developed to prevent infection by a virus. How is this bacterial defense now being used to modify genetic codes in humans, include CRISPR in your discussion. Explain the growth curve of a virus and what phase is the coronal virus in the present pandemic?
