Discuss the infection of a bacterium by a virus. Include thesteps in the correct order from attachment to lysis. How does thisdiffer from the virus replication cycle in animals? Explain thedifference between the lytic cycle, lysogeny, and slow release.Also include the bacterial defense mechanism bacteria havedeveloped to prevent infection by a virus. How is this bacterialdefense now being used to modify genetic codes in humans, includeCRISPR in your discussion. Explain the growth curve of a virus andwhat phase is the coronal virus in the present pandemic?
