What is it called when infection leads quickly to breaking open of host cell?
HIV
What does HIV use to reproduce?
HIV is a retrovirus as it transcribed mRNA into DNA. It invades a host cell and uses the cells machinery to copy its own genetic material. This produces multiple copies of the virus within the host cell, which then ruptures releasing the virus and the process is repeated.
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
When human immunodeficiency virus HIV attaches to a host cell what genetic material is released into the cell's cytoplasm?
Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
What is the viral DNA that has attached to a host cell's chromosomes and that is replicated with the chromosome's DNA?
Many viruses can infiltrate a host's DNA to replicate itself. An example of this is the AIDS virus.
What is a form in which HIV hides in the host cell?
the forms in which hiv hides in the host cell is retrovirus
How does hiv attach to the host cell?
with the help of lymphocyte and phagocyte
When infection leads quickly to breaking open of host cell?
HIV
What blocks HIV binding to host cell receptors?
Protease inhibitors.
What is it called when infection leads quickly to breaking open of host cell?
HIV
What must HIV surface protein do to enter a host cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
Does a portion of the viral envelope come from the cell membrane of the host cell?
In complex or enveloped viruses ,whole of envelop is part of cell membrane of host as in case of HIV.

Can someone be a host for the HIV virus and not have HIV?
Definitely the answer to this is an emphatic NO. If you have HIV then you are a host for HIV and vice versa. You cannot be one without the other.
What is the role of CD4 receptores in HIV infections?
The role of the CD4 receptors in HIV is so that the virus fuses with the T helper cells.
Does the shape of the protein allow the virus coat to attached to certain cell in the host?
yes
What is it called when a virus attached to host cell injects its nucleic acid into the host cell then makes more viruses?
Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the virus and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where viral reproduction may begin.
