Enzymes allow viruses to insert their genetic materials into the host cells DNA how does the virus benefit from this action?
Turning the host cell into a virus
What is the specific host cell of the West Nile Virus?
It usually is inside women cells
How do virus benefit from inserting their genetic material into a host cell?
It all depends on the virus. It may be a lytic or a lysogenic infection. In a lytic infection, the virus inserts its DNA into host cell and replicate itself until the cell bursts and releases the new copies to infect other host cells. In a lysogenic infection, the virus inserts its DNA and gains control over the host cell, shutting it down and makes copies of itself like lytic infection, but the host cell does not burst.
Which stage of bacteriophage replication involves the bursting of the host cell so that the virus particles are free to infect others?
This is the last stage and it is called viral shedding. After a virus has made many copies of itself, it usually has used up the cell resources. The host cell is now no longer useful to the virus and the cell often dies.
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
What is usually larger a cell or a virus?
Cell.
What is the benefit of having the sickle cell trait?
They can not contract malaria.

Where can I get a Drawing of a virus cell?
No where. A virus is not a cell.

What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.

Which is smaller a cell or virus?
A virus.

What provides energy for an virus?
A virus does not have a metabolism. To reproduce, a virus takes control of a living cell, forcing the cell to make copies of the virus. All energy is provided by the cell.
How does your body benefit when a white blood cell kills a cell that has been infected by a virus?
Your body benefits when a white blood cell kills a cell that has been infected by a virus because the cells that was infected is no longer able to infect other cells with the bacteria. If the cell is not killed the virus in the cell will infect other cells. this may cause diseases that can be life threatening.
