Viruses are a form of organism that take over the control of the functions of cells they infect. They consist only of nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat as a particle that assembles inside an infected cell. Therefore they have no nuclei, but in fact can be said to be somewhat of a parasitic nucleus inside the cells they infect. See the related links section below for definitions and descriptions of viruses.
What else can I help you with?
Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
No, a virus does not change the instructions in the cell's nucleus. Instead, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus hijacks the cell's normal processes to make new virus particles, which can then infect other cells.
What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
A virus is an organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell. They hijack the cellular machinery of the host cell to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles.
Second step in the reproductive cycle of an active virus?
The second step in the reproductive cycle of an active virus is penetration and entry into the host cell. Once the virus attaches to the host cell surface, it enters the cell through various mechanisms such as endocytosis or direct fusion with the cell membrane. This step allows the virus to deliver its genetic material into the host cell where it can begin replication and assembly of new virus particles.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
What organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell?
The nucleus is the organelle that manages and controls all cell functions in a eukaryotic cell. It contains the cell's genetic material and regulates gene expression, cell division, and protein synthesis.
Why is the virus eukaryote cell?
It has no nucleus, though technically a virus is not a cell at all.
What is a cell if it contains a nucleus?
A Eukaryotic Cell MUST contain a nucleus. A Prokaryotic Cell MUST NOT have a nucleus. A non-cell would be a virus.
What is a particle with dna but no nucleus or cell wall?
A virus is a particle with DNA but no nucleus or cell wall.
Where is the virus trying to go in the cell final destination?
The final destination of the virus within the cell is typically the nucleus of the cell.
Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
No, a virus does not change the instructions in the cell's nucleus. Instead, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus hijacks the cell's normal processes to make new virus particles, which can then infect other cells.
Cells that dont have a nucleus?
virus??? Prokariotic cells, as bacteria, etc.
Has a virus a nucleus?
has virus a nucleus
How do virus propagate?
Viruses replicate by hijacking a host's cells. The virus inserts its own RNA sequence into the host cell's nucleus, forcing it to replicate the virus until the host cell dies.
What is a living thing that a virus or parasite lives on or in organism with no nucleus?
A virus or parasite that lives within an organism lacking a nucleus could infect a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterium. In this case, the virus or parasite would utilize the host's cellular machinery to replicate and survive without the presence of a nucleus.
How virus harm the human body?

Does a virus have eukaryotes?
thank makes no sence.. a eukaryote is a cell with a nucleus. technically a virus isn't even a cell... its just DNA/ rna in a protein coat. it cannot reproduce unless it has a host cell to insert its DNA/rna into.
How is a virus different from eukaryote?
A virus is considers a prokaryotic cell which only contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and the DNA scattered in the cytoplasm. It is also a few times smaller than an eukaryotic cell which mostly contains a cell membrane, cytoplasm and a nucleus that contains the DNA.
