viruses are intracellular because they need to use cells to replicate themselves
Can viruses reproduce by themselves?
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
Do viruses produce proteins?
Viruses hijack the cell and use the cell's machinery to produce proteins.
Does smallpox form a provirus?
No. The are different from other pox viruses in that they replicate in the cytoplasm and not the nucleus.

No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
What are the two methods of viruses replication?
The only way viruses can replicate is by parasitizing living cells and using the cell's mechanisms to replicate their genetic materials and protein components.
Why can't viruses replicate through mitosis?
Viruses do not have cells or any of the mechanisms to replicate any of their components. Because of this, the virus must hijack the mechanisms of a living cell in order to make copies of itself.
