Best Answer

Assuming you mean prokaryotic cells... Many viruses replicate use DNA or RNA in their genetic structure. Prokaryotic cells replicate by translating their DNA into RNA and then transferring it back into DNA. Many viruses hook into this system and use the prokaryotic replication to make copies of their own DNA or RNA.

Otherwise, many viruses replicate within prokaryotic cells in a parasitic relationship, using the genetic material, energy and parts of the cell to replicate their own genetic material and multiply or just to hide until they are ready to replicate.
