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.

A protein that is produced by cells infected by a virus and that can protect uninfected cells from reproduction of the virus?
Interferons
Interferon is a group of hormone like peptides produced by cells in response to the presence of?
Viruses.
Why do plant viruses have a difficult time entering the cells they infected?
Plant viruses have a difficult time entering the cells they infect partly because plant cells are surrounded by tough cell walls that viruses alone cannot break through; however, once inside a plant they can multiply and spread rapidly.
how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
Where are viruses produced?
i think that they are produced in cells.

A protein that is produced by cells infected by a virus and that can protect uninfected cells from reproduction of the virus?
Interferons
How do interferons provide a defense against viruses?
When a cell is infected with virus it sends out an interferon to warn other cells around it to stop transcription and translation and to produce antiviral proteins
What substance produced by t cells causes non-infected cells to form an antiviral protein?
antibody
