The main difference between 'provirus' and 'viral DNA' is that provirus is viral DNA incorporated into the host cell’s DNA (Option 1)

  • A provirus can be defined as the genetic material (DNA) of a particular virus which is integrated into the genome of an individual.

  • Since a provirus is already integrated into the host's genome, this sequence can be transmitted from one generation to the next by cell division (either mitosis and meiosis depending on the cell type).

  • For example, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus whose genome is integrated into the host genome (e.g., into host CD4 cells), thereby making it a provirus.
