That depends. All viruses have a marker that binds to a specific site on a cell. For example, HIV virus will only be infectious to humans because only humans possess a cell with the correct binding sites.

What part of an organism's cell does a virus depend upon?
Mitochondria
How do cells respond to a bacteria or virus?
If a virus enters a bacteria cell, the virus will try to infiltrate the cell's central code. If the cell catches it in time, it may be stopped (like a disease virus), but many times the bacterial virus will reproduce inside the cell. Hidden virus will become part of the cell's genetic material code upon entering, and will eventually reproduce. Active virus are easier to spot, as they try to start reproducing after "laying eggs" getting inside the cell.
What does the cell size mainly depend upon?
it depends upon her hand size
What is found in the center of a nucleus of a cell?
nucleolus.......... it depends upon what type of cell it is...
Explain why a certain virus will attach to only one or few types of cells?
Virus attachment is dependent upon the cell surface receptor that can interact with the protein on the virus surface. The interaction is akin to a lock and a key. The key is the protein on the virus, and the lock is the cell surface receptor. A key will only get into the correct lock.
What part of an organism's cell does a virus depend upon?
Mitochondria
Which organism depends upon another organism for existence?
depends upon the organisms
The ability to use the nucleus from an adult somatic cell to create all of the cell types in a new organism demonstrates that development depends upon?
The control of gene expression.
What is the difference between an epidemic and a virus?
A virus is a micro-organism which causes disease by landing on a cell, breaking into it, then forcing the cell to make copies of it. The cell dies of exaustion, and the copies of the virus (plus the original virus) go on to other cell to wreak havok upon. An epidemic on the other hand, is when lots of people in the same area (though it may eventually spead out), aren't immune to a highly contagious disease allowing it to spread widely around an area.
Is RNA linear or circular?
It depends upon the organism.

Organism that depend on other animals for survival?
What is a organism which depends upon another organism for my existence
What happens if one part of a cell is not working?
It depends upon which part of cell is not working .
The number of chromosomes in a nucleus depends upon the kind of organism it comes from?
true
