What else can I help you with?
What is never part of a virus?
Viral Envelope
Does a portion of the viral envelope come from the cell membrane of the host cell?
Yes, a portion of the viral envelope can come from the host cell membrane. When a virus buds out of a host cell, it can acquire some of the host cell's membrane components, incorporating them into its envelope.
What are the spikes and there function in a virus?
Spikes are proteins that are part of the viral capsid/envelope (depending on if the virus is a naked virus or not). It helps with attachment to the host cell. They are derived from their host cell's own proteins (but are not the same as their hosts), and can help in evading the host cell's defenses.
Where do animal cell viruses take their envelope from?
Howdy fellow user! The envelope of a virus is made of a lipid bilayer derived from the host during the budding stage, basically the exiting stage of a newly made virus particle. Let's do a little rewind. The virus infects the cell to make many copies of itself by using the transcription and translational machinery available there. The virus proteins are translated first. Some of them are envelope proteins that get collected on the surface of the cell in a designated spot so when the virus buds off, it takes the bilayer with the accumulated envelope proteins. Hope you found this response useful! 😄
What does membrance envelope do?
it a part of a virus and takes over the host
What are the functions of each part of a virus?
virus consists of different parts: 1)Viral genome2)Capsid3)Envelopes or Covering4)Tail fibresVIRAL GENOME: it is the inner part,the nucleic acid.it consists of a single or many molecules of DNA or RNA. In small virus four genes and in the largest virus several hundred molecules are present.In many viruses nucleic acid is different. In animal viruses and bacteriophage usually DNA is present and in plant viruses mostly RNA is present. In viruses cytoplasm, nucleus and chromosomes are not found
Contained a virus is what part of speech?
The word virus is a noun. The plural form is viruses.
What part of the HIV virus serves to protect the nucleic acid core?
viral load
What part of a virus does not enter the host?
Generally, the protein coat that surrounds the viral genetic material and any reverse trascriptase enzymes. This capsid stays outside the cell attacked while the genetic material and whatever else is needed is injected into the cell or the capsid merges with the cell membrane and the vital viral material enters the cell.
What are the spikes and what is their function?
A part of the viral envelope/ capsid which are proteins is known as spikes. They help evade the defenses of the host cell are obtained from their protein.
What advantage does a virus have when invading an organism if it incorporates part of a host cell membrane into its envelope?
By incorporating part of a host cell membrane into its envelope, a virus can disguise itself and evade detection by the host's immune system. This camouflage allows the virus to enter host cells more easily without triggering an immune response, increasing its chances of successful infection.
What part of a cell cycle would also be found in a viral reproductive cycle?
In a viral reproductive cycle, the stage that parallels a part of the cell cycle is the synthesis phase (S phase). During this phase, a virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce viral proteins, similar to how a cell duplicates its DNA and prepares for division. This process is essential for the virus to assemble new viral particles and propagate within the host.
