What’s on the Viral Replication poster
Lytic cycle against Lysogenic cycle, side by side.
- Lytic cycle: Attach, penetrate, replicate, assemble, lyse
- Lytic cycle: Host cell destroyed
- Lytic cycle: Rapid production of virions
- Lytic cycle: Symptoms appear quickly
- Lysogenic cycle: Genome integrates into host DNA
- Lysogenic cycle: Replicated with the host
- Lysogenic cycle: Dormant as a prophage
- Lysogenic cycle: Can switch to lytic later
- Lysogenic cycle: Herpes and HIV use similar strategies
- Retroviruses add a step: reverse transcriptase makes DNA from their RNA genome before…
Antiretroviral drugs target reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease — three steps unique to the viral cycle.

- Who is the Viral Replication poster for?
- Viral Replication belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning microbiology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Viral Replication poster?
- Lytic destroys the host immediately. Lysogenic integrates and waits. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Viral Replication belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Viral Replication?
- Antibiotic Resistance, How Antibiotics Work and Aseptic Technique sit alongside Viral Replication in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Antibiotic ResistanceHow Antibiotics WorkAseptic Technique
- Is the Viral Replication poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Viral Replication downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Viral Replication poster print at?
- Viral Replication is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Viral Replication loses nothing.Printing guide
