Please define the following terms and match them with their corresponding definitions: - Prophage: a virus that is able to incorporate its genetic information into a bacterium's genome. - Provirus: a virus that is able to incorporate its genetic information into a eukaryote's genome. - Lytic cycle: a viral lifestyle that allows it to replicate in the cytoplasm of its host cell and eventually destroy it by lysing the cell membrane to escape. - Temperate phage: a bacterial virus that is capable of performing both lytic and lysogenic lifecycle. - Lysogenic lifecycle: a lifestyle seen in prophages and proviruses.

Please describe the five stages of the viral life cycle, including both lytic and lysogenic viruses. Imagine you are explaining these terms to a high school AP Biology class. Describe the steps for genome replication for the following types of viruses including any special enzymes. This should be written in the form of a chronological list of steps for each with special enzymes underlined. dsDNA ssRNA + ssRNA- retroviruses
