  3. Step 2 • The Virus’s hereditary material enters the host cell Virus CELL Nucleus

  4. Step 3 • The Hereditary Material of the Virus causes the cell to make more Virus CELL Nucleus

  5. Step 4 • New Viruses form inside the host cell CELL Nucleus

  6. Step 5 • The cell Bursts and is destroyed • New Virus cells are released
