  • @AL11RAN lmao..ur incorrect hun!! do your research or study your book first next time.

  • I don't think it remains attached to the cell, as viruses have two types of genetic material. The first can be changed into the other, and the origional virus can contaminate other cells. . . I think. . .

  • lol I was in a test and needed help! Thanks :)

  • They look like spiders! :(

  • just a note about the bursting part:

    The phage directs the production of lysozyme, which is an enzyme that breaks down the cell wall.

    With a damaged cell wall, osmosis causes the cell to swell and THEN burst, releasing the phages.

  • gooooood

  • @malevcc viruses have big jugs ;)

  • why are cells so submissive to the virus??
