Can a virus can only reproduce by controlling a cell?
Yes, that's the ony way
How do virues reproduce?
A virus needs a host cell to reproduce, so it enters a host cell(living cell e.g bacteria) and releases genatic materials which enslave the the cell and reproduce.
Which organisms reproduce by cloning?
virus
What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
viruses can only reproduce in living cells by injecting their own dna into the nucleus
What is a virus that replicates without killing the host cell called?
A very simple answer is lysogenic virus. it could still kill the cell eventually if it becomes lytic.
Does a virus need a crystal or a host to reproduce?
the virus needs the host to reproduce!! : )
Can a virus can only reproduce by controlling a cell?

Is Ebola a bacteria fungus or bacteriaor virus?
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.

A microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destoys it?
The answer to this question is a virus!a virus is what causes you to get a flu and other sicknesses. Remember, a virus is NOT A LIVING ORGANISM! There for, it needs a host cell to reproduce and get nutrients.
What process do viruses reproduce?
A virus cannot reinvent itself without the help of a 'hosts' living cell. Once the virus invades the living cell it takes over the mechanism of reproduction using the cells enzymes and other chemical to reproduce. Therefore a virus cannot reproduce independently. Once the host cell is compromised the virus is free to infect other cells in the living organism.
Why can't you grow viruses on agar plates?
because to reproduce a virus needs to invade a living cell. this can not be done without one
How does Schizophrenia reproduce?
Schizophrenia is not caused by a virus or bacteria--it does not and cannot "reproduce". Because it is not caused by a virus or bacteria, it is also not "contagious".
How is a virus and cell the same?
they arent the same a virus is technically not condidered living because it does not have all the proper organells but it can count as a protist or a parasite which needs to attach itself to a host to live and reproduce that is another reason viruses are not like cellls because they cannot reproduce on their own they need a host and once they infect the host they reproduce the same virus and so on but anyway a cell is like a virus for a number of reasons just GOOGLE it retard have a nice day
What can a virus can only reproduce in?
a Cell
Which organisms reproduce by cloning?
virus
What makes organisms susceptible to a virus?
If there are cells for that virus to reproduce in and no anitbodies to fight the virus off.
