How Bacteria Reproduce: Binary Fission, Doubling Time and Gene Sharing
How a single bacterial cell copies its chromosome and splits in two, why colonies grow exponentially, and how bacteria share genes that spread traits.
MicrobesHow Viruses Replicate Inside Cells: Lytic, Lysogenic and Retroviral Cycles
How viruses attach to host cells, hijack their machinery to copy genomes and build new particles, and why lytic, lysogenic and retroviral cycles differ.
