Oncogenic viruses stimulate uncontrolled host cell division. Retroviruses use the enzyme reverse transcriptase to direct the production of DNA froma single stranded RNA genome. Animal viruses can be grown in tissue cultures, embryonated eggs, and live animal hosts. The shape of a virus may be determined by either its capsid or its envelope. Like bacteriophages, when animal viruses enter host cells, only their genomes enter while their capsids remain outside of their host cells.
