In general, viruses go through the following five
1. Adsorption, the attachment of viruses to host cells.
2. Penetration, the entry of virions (or their genome) into host cells.
3. Synthesis, the synthesis of new nucleic acid molecules, capsid proteins, and other viral components within host cells while using the metabolic machinery of those cells.
4. Maturation, the assembly of newly synthesized viral components into complete virions.
5. Release, the departure of new virions from host cells. Release generally, but not always, kills (lyses) host cells.

Where does a virus replicate itself?
Viruses do not reproduce since they are not alive but they hijack the host's DNA to make more viruses.
When viruses obtain energy where does it come from?
When a virus obtains energy, it comes from the host cell. A virus requires the host cell to reproduce and uses the energy from that host.
What is an organism that supports a virus or other organism?
The answer to this question is a host! A host could be a host cell which a virus uses to reproduce and create more viruses to get you sick!
How does AIDS cause a particular disease?
The virus that causes AIDS is called HIV. This virus uses one of the main type of immune cells - CD4 cells - to reproduce. The immune response to infection is to produce more CD4 cells, which the virus uses to reproduce even more etc. The immune system initially controls the virus. However, without treatment, usually over many years, the virus slowly wears down the number of CD4 cells. This leaves someone vulnerable to a wide range of serious infections.
If virus will infect other virus?
nope, that really isn't possible as virus are acellular organisms and in order to reproduce themselves, they need a host cell. some of those virus contain genetic information, proteins inside them and no way to duplicate it. so what they do is invade a cell that can reproduce itself, and sneak the virus genetic information into the cell's DNA. once the DNA is replicated, the virus uses its proteins to cut the portions of its material genetic and it's done. the virus is replicated
What type of virus uses computer hosts to reproduce itself?
That would be the worm and the love bug, one of the most famous worm-like infections
When attacked by viruses cells die?
Yes, a virus uses a host cell to house and reproduce itself. In the final stage of its parasitic occupation, the virus replicas burst from the host cell, killing the host cell.
How human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) affects on the immune system?
It uses one of the main type of immune cells - CD4 cells - to reproduce. The immune response to infection is to produce more CD4 cells, which the virus uses to reproduce even more etc. The immune system initially controls the virus. However, without treatment, usually over many years, the virus slowly wears down the number of CD4 cells. This leaves someone vulnerable to a wide range of serious infections.
How can a virus cause harm?
A virus is parasitic, it invades cells and uses the chemical content of the cell to reproduce more of itself, killing the cell in the process. When a virus invades an organism such as a person, the organism gets sick. Viral disease can be very serious, even fatal.
How do Oscillatoria reproduce?
oscillatoria reproduce by fragmentation they break into fragments called Hormogina it uses photosyntetsis to reproduce
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.
Disadvantages of computer virus?
