First molecule able to replicate itself?
DNA
What is a difference between a worm and a virus?
A virus is a program that is designed to spread from file to file on a single PC, it does not intentionally try to move to another PC, and it must replicate, and execute itself to be defined as a virus. A worm is designed to copy itself (intentionally move) from PC to PC, via networks, internet etc. A worm doesnt need a host file to move from system to system, whereas a virus does. So worms spread more rapidly then viruses. The word 'Virus' has become a common term a lot of people use to refer to worms and trojans too. Which is not exactly correct.
Where does a virus reproduce?
a virus is able to replicate itself bu taking over the metabolic activities of the cell it infects essentially saying stop what you are suppose to do and make copies of me. so the virus actually doesn't replicate itself but rather the cell in which it infects does it for it. this occurs during the lytic phase of the virus. sometimes the virus "hides" by incorporating itself within the dna of the cell it infects(causing certain cancers) until it is releases itself and says make me. this dormant phase is called lysogenic.
What must occur with the DNA in the original cells in order for mitosis to make new cells?
the dna must replicate itself in order to make two exact copies:D
Which statement BEST identifies why a worm is more dangerous than a Trojan horse?
A worm can replicate itself.
Which two characteristics describe a computer worm?
A computer worm is a type of malware. Its ability to replicate functional copies of itself is one of its characteristics. It does not require a host program to replicate due to its standalone characteristic.
Why does a worm poses a greater threat than a virus poses?
Because worms are more network-based than viruses
What is the first step a worm or virus takes?
Usually the first action that a virus or worm performs is to replicate itself. This attempts to ensure that the virus or worm spreads before being detected by a payload.

What is a worm in computer viruses?
A worm is a program designed to replicate.
What is a program that copies itself throughout a network?
It's called - a Virus.
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not a characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule?
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
Does DNA replicate itself?
Yes
What characteristics do all worms have in common?
Is self-replicating. Travels to new computers without any intervention or knowledge of the user.
Can a worm infect a host file and wait for that file to be executed on another computer to replicate?
false
How does DNA replicate make a copy of itself?
Meiosis
