What component of a virus is injected into infected cell?
The genetic material of a virus, either DNA or RNA, is injected into an infected cell. This genetic material contains the instructions needed for the virus to hijack the cell's machinery and replicate itself.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
How does your body benefit when a white blood cell kills a cell that has been infected by a virus?
Your body benefits when a white blood cell kills a cell that has been infected by a virus because the cells that was infected is no longer able to infect other cells with the bacteria. If the cell is not killed the virus in the cell will infect other cells. this may cause diseases that can be life threatening.
What happens when RNA is extracted from a virus is injected into a host cell?
Without the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase probable nothing. RNA viruses are retroviruses because they nee reverse tanscriptase to make a DNA copy from the RNA that is inserted into the cell. Generally to form a provirus. Now if you injected DNA from a regular virus then it would be as if the virus did it itself.

Where does translation occur in a DNA virus?
It occurs when the DNA from the virus is injected into the host cell.

Does a virus use ATP?
no, that is supplied by the infected cell.
Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?
Both a living cell and a virus contain nucleic acid. The virus has a capsid, whereas a living cell does not.
What stimulates the production of interferions?
When a cell is infected with a virus, the cell secrets interferon to help the other cells to resist to this virus. Hope it helps!!
What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
What uses an infected host cell's genetic and metabolic machinery for reproduction and assembly?
a virus
What is the aim for a host cell for a virus?
A virally infected host cells' "desire" would be to create copies of the virus (as that is what the virus does to its host cell - turn its own mechanisms against itself). The host cell, once infected, can not do much to stop the spread of the virus internally. The external immune response would be to target that cell with antibodies and then have white blood cells phagocytize that cell to stop the spread of the virus anymore (same with free-floating viruses outside of cells).
How exactly do vaccines aid the immune system?
when it is injected it goes into the cell and the cell produces antibodies against the virus which further protects a person
Which of the following is the best predictor of how much damage a virus causes?
Ability of the infected cell to undergo normal cell division.
