A virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?

Of course it makes your cell it is produce more viruses only in a severe virus.


Can a virus make the cell it is in produce more viruses?

yes it does


What latent virus does when enters a cell?

First the virus goes into the cell. When its in the cell it "hides" and the cell makes a copy. Once it makes a copy the latent virus reveal themselves and then there are latent viruses in the first cell and the duplicated one. After that it copies it self in each cell and then releases.


How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?

An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.


What does a virus need to make more viruses?

The virus attaches itself to a living cell, Human or another microbe. It then sends in its genetic codes and forces the cell to reproduce more of that code. Eventually the other cells are full of viruses and pop sending more viruses everywhere to then redo the process. It then causes diseases such as aids or chicken pox


Does a virus reproudce by splitting in two?

No it does not. It reproduces by infecting/controlling a body cell and commands it to produce viruses.


What does a virus do to its host cell?

A virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate itself, causing the cell to produce more viruses. This can eventually lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells.


Can viruses replicate?

Viruses are unable to replicate on their own and require a host cell to do so. Once inside a host cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more copies of itself.


Does cells have viruses?

cells are not made with viruses unless the virus gets into the cell itself. The viruses get into the cell and the virus will spread killing off whatever it can ;)


What is a host cell for a virus?

A host cell for a virus is a cell that the virus can infect and hijack to replicate itself. The virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery to produce more virus particles, and then spreads to infect other cells.


Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?

Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell


Can a virus release and use energy?

Virus particles have no metabolism and does not use energy. However, some viruses have kinetic energy stored in the high pressure inside them, this energy is released when they squirt their genome into the host cell. When they hijack the cell to make more viruses the cell will use energy to produce new viruses.
