How are the normal functions of the host cell affected by the provirus?

A virus can:
1. Kill the host cell
2. Alter the cell; incorporate into the genetic material of the host cell, thus becoming part of its nucleic acid pool; or divide when the host cell divides.

What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the cell reproduces, the provirus is copied as part of the chromosome. The virus chromosome is placed into the host cell's.
What is the difference of PROVIRUS and VIRION?
A provirus is the virus' genetic material integrated with the genetic material of the host cell. Some viruses stay in this form inside a cell until a specific stimulus causes the provirus to start to reproduce and lyse, or burst, the cell. For instance, some prophages (a provirus from a bacteriophage) the process doesn't continue until UV radiation hits the bacterium. A virion is the name of the actual virus particle. The virion is comprised of the capsid and the DNA (or RNA) of the virus. The term virion is used in a similar way that bacterium is when referring to a single bacterial cell. Some virions, such as HIV also have a phospholipid bilayer that they gain by 'budding' from the host cell. When a cell is lysed the provirus gives way to viral progeny, the virions.
Cell carries out its normal functions and the chromosomes are thinly spread out throughout the nucleus?
INTERPHASE
Which stage of mitosis is called resting stage?
It's interphase, though ironically, the cell is actually quite busy during this phase trying to perform its normal functions. It is called the resting phase because it is "resting" from cell division.
What happens during G1 of interphase?
cell grows and carries out its normal functions.
What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the cell reproduces, the provirus is copied as part of the chromosome. The virus chromosome is placed into the host cell's.
A host chromosome with a viral gene inserted into it is a?
The host cell would have transgenic DNA. A vector is often used to this.
Phase which the cell carries out functions?
The phase where the cell carries out its normal functions is known as interphase.
During the lysogenic cycle is a provirus part of a host cell's chromosome?
Yes
What are Normal cell functions of prokaryotes disrupted by?
Antibiotics.

A cell in G2 is performing normal functions and is also?
growing
What does a cell utilize to maintain its organization and carry out normal functions?
nutrition
What happen during G1 interphase?
cell grows and carries out its normal functions.
What happens during g1 interphase?
cell grows and carries out its normal functions.
Cell carries out its normal functions and the chromosomes are thinly spread out throughout the nucleus?
INTERPHASE
What is the relationship between skin cancer and cell cycle?
skin cancer (any cancer for that matter) is when the cell cycle becomes completely unregulated and only performs cell division without its normal cell functions.
