SEIZING THE CELL
Figure 9.2
1) The virus
approaches a cell
and attaches to
its membrane.
2) With a special
enzyme it pos-
sesses, the virus
pierces the cell
membrane and
injects its nucleic
acid (DNA or
RNA) into it.
3) The viral DNA is incorporated into the cell's DNA, thereby bringing normal
protein production to a halt.
4) The cell starts producing new viruses according to the commands given by
its now-altered DNA. The multiplied new viruses then break through the cell
membrane and then migrate out toward new cells.
