a virus isdifferent from normal cells meaning it does not go through mitoses (cell division) but instead it attaches to a cell and injects it's DNA in to the cell where it infects the nucleus to stop what it is doing and to start to produce more viruses. so a virus reproduces by making other cells do it for them

What reproductive cycle does not destroy the host cell?
lysogenic cycle is the answer .... because the lytic cycle does destroy the host cell of the virus?
What is the lyctic cycle?
I suppose you mean "lytic cycle". It's the reproductive cycle of virus in which upon entering the host, the viral genome directs the host genome to produce viral proteins and after assembly and maturation of viral particles, they get released by host lysis. There is another cycle called lysogenic cycle in which the viral genome integrates with the host instead of causing lysis.
How are the lysogenic and lytic cycles different?
causes Disease
In what cycle of the viral replication does the virus the host cell?
During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.
Does an active virus use energy to grow?
yes
What is the structure and reproductive cycle of a virus?
I.D.K.looks like you' re out of lucksucks to be you
What reproductive celldoes not destroy the host cell of the virus?
the host cell cycle
What active virus will destroy its?
A lytic virus will destroy its' host cell at the end of the lytic cycle.
What does an active virus destroy a cell?
A lytic virus will destroy its' host cell at the end of the lytic cycle.
That the cold virus is an active virus or a hidden virus?
active virus
What reproductive cycle does not destroy the host cell?
lysogenic cycle is the answer .... because the lytic cycle does destroy the host cell of the virus?
What is the difference between a active virus and a hidden virus?
The " hidden " virus is called a provirus and it insets it's genetic material into the genome of the invaded cell so that the cell copies itself many times and copies the virus also. An active virus just invades and hijacks the cell immediately to reproduce the virus. The " hidden " type of virus does come out after a time and acts like a active virus then Google lytic cycle and lysoginy.
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 is included in a lysogenic cycle?
something that has to do with viruses something that has to do with viruses correct : it is the cycle where a virus lays dormant inside the host cell until it is triggered to become active and then go into the lytic cycle.
How do hidden viruses differ from active viruses?
an active virus enters a cell and is active it causes the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell. a latent viruses is some viruses may be latent viruses. a latent virus enters a cell and its hereditary material may become part of the cell's hereditary materials.
Why is it said that the virus hijacks the host cell?
In the lytic cycle the virus destroys the cells DNA and with its own genetic material hijacks the cellular machinery to make its own proteins and genetic material. In the lysogenic cycle the virus inserts its own genetic material into the cells DNA and passes this down many reproductive cycles until the multiplicity of infected cells reach a point where the lytic cycle proceeds.
Is the west nile virus a active or hidden virus?
an active one
