Best Answer

Viruses are non-living, and require a host cell in order to survive and function. So the answer to your question is yes, that is exactly what a virus does -- it takes over a healthy cell and uses its machinery to do its dirty work, eventually ending up in the death of the healthy cells.

Yes. Viruses' only aim is to reproduce; if they invade a cell and are not killed off, they will continue replicating themselves until the cell bursts.

How do you specify that the cell address will change if copied to another cell in excel?

No special activity is done to do this. Typing a cell reference in the normal way will result in a cell reference changing if it is copied. It is known as a relative reference. To restrict the change, you can make the cell mixed or absolute. See the related question below.No special activity is done to do this.

Can a virus change the normal of a cell?

What is the best predictor of how much damage a virus causes?

ability of the infected cell to undergo normal cell division


What are two phases of virus activity?

The two phases of virus activity are the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus infects the host cell, replicates its genetic material, and then leads to the destruction of the host cell, releasing new virus particles. In the lysogenic cycle, the virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell's DNA and remains dormant for a period of time before switching to the lytic cycle.


Which of the following is the best predictor of how much damage a virus causes?

Ability of the infected cell to undergo normal cell division.


Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?

Yes, by inserting its DNA or RNA into that cell.


What happens to cells when virus enters it and how is the production of cancer cells being treated?

The invasion of virus began with the attachment of the virus on the targeted host cell. The virus will inject its genetic information ( either DNA or RNA, can not be both) into the cell, leaving its protein coat outside of the cell. The genetic information which is injected by the virus will take over the mechanism of the cell; the genetic material of the virus will direct the host cell to reproduce more virus and when the viruses is reproduced, it is released into the surrounding to infect other host cell. Production or the source of cancer cell is nothing related to the virus. The cancer cell is produced when there is extreme radiation, deaminating agent, base analog and acridine derivative which will affect the normal cell cycle and lead to uncontrollable cell division (mitosis) and because the cell produced has no function (it is not differentiated), it compete with other healthy, normal cell for space and food. A way to treat this cancer is to inhibit the cell cycle of the cancerous cell. One of the method is radiotherapy.


Viral RNA uses the normal process of a cell to manufacture?

It basically takes over the cell and orders the cell to make more copies of the original virus and it's DNA.


Describe how cancer cells differ from normal cells both structurally and in cell activity?

 Cancer cells differ from normal cells structurally as they look majorly clumped with unusual patterns or formations. Cancer cells differ in cell activity compared to normal cells greatly as they are constantly growing and dividing while normal cells do not and stop growing and dividing when touching another cell.


Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?

No where. A virus is not a cell.
