Question

what is the difference between animal virus and bacteriophage replication?

Answer 1

The bacteriophage attach to the cell wall proteins of bacterial cells using tail fibres and inject the viral DNA into the cytoplasm where biosynthesis occurs and uncoating is not required. Eventually the host cell is lysed by the bacteriopage.

While on the other hand the animal virus attach to the plasma membrane proteins and the glycoproteins. Then the capsid enters by endocytosis or by fusion. Then the capsid proteins are removed by the enzymes. The DNA vurus synthesie in the nucleus while the RNA in the cytoplasm. Latency is present in these and they can cause cancer. The non enveloped virus breaks the plasma membrane while the enveloped bud out.
