Highly specific
What else can I help you with?
Are viruses general or highly specific to the cell they infect?
Highly specific
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
What are most viruses highly specific to the cells they infect?
somehow
Why are most viruses highly specific to cells they infects?
viruses must bind precisely to proteins on the cell surface and than use a hosts genetic system, this is why most viruses are highly specific to the cells they infect
Why cant every virus infect every living cell?
Viruses can only infect specific cells that have the necessary receptors on their surface for the virus to attach to. Each virus is adapted to infect specific types of cells based on these interactions. This specificity limits the range of cells that a virus can successfully infect.
How are viruses highly specific to the cell they infect?
The protein capsid of the virus will only fit in a protein marker of a certain cell with that marker, which creates specificity to the cell they infect. For this reason, a virus that is harmful to a plant may be harmless to humans.
What are the viruses the infect bacteria called?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
Why are viruses so specific in the cell the infect?
Viruses have specific proteins on them which only binds to certain receptors, which are present in certain cell's plasma membrane.
How do you infect others computers with viruses?
YOU don't infect other computers with viruses.
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
Are viruses able to infect all cell?
No, viruses cannot infect all cells; they are specific to certain host organisms and cell types. Each virus has a specific set of host cells it can infect, determined by the presence of compatible receptors on the cell surface and the virus's mechanisms for entering the cell. This specificity means that while some viruses can infect a wide range of species, others are restricted to a particular host or cell type.
What type of virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophage
