It has to enter the host DNA and "make" the host DNA make the virus parts. To do this the RNA that the virus contains has to be able to enter into the cell nucleus and take over the host DNA. It carries an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to complete this. See the link below for a very good idea of how it works:
What else can I help you with?
What Is an organism cell or piece of genetic material that is genetically identical to one from which it is derived?
That cell is a clone of the first. This happens all the time in your body.
Which part of the cell body contains the cell's genetic material?
the cel l nucleus contains genetic material known asDNA
Why is it important that sex cells have half the number of of chromosomes as body cells?
This happens so the genetic material from both parents combines to make new set.
What genetic material can be extracted from your body tissues and used to create a profile to identify a victim or suspect?
Any cell from your body, which have the nucleus, will do for genetic material. So you can collect the blood, which have white blood cells, will do. Biopsy from any part gives you enough cells for the genetic material, you need for genetic testing.
What do body cells do not contribute to genetic material?
sex cells
Why is the genetic material for eye color in the cells of the big toe?
Genetic material is in DNA. DNA can be found in every cell in the body....including your toe!
What is the introduction of any hazardous material into bodies of water?
which hazardous material can enter the body
WHAT HAPPENS TO MANY PATHOGENS THAT ENTER YOUR BODY?
An infection occurrs.
Where is all genetic material that controls a person's traits located in their body?
In your cells' nucleus.
What is a polar body and how does it relate to the process of meiosis?
A polar body is a small cell produced during the process of meiosis in females. It contains genetic material but does not develop into a mature egg. Polar bodies are formed as a result of unequal division of genetic material during meiosis, which helps ensure that the egg cell receives the necessary genetic material for fertilization.
How much body material is need to get a genetic code?
A sinlge drop of blood or a strand of your hair is more tha enough to get your genetic code.
What action do viruses take when they enter the body' cell?
Viruses enter the body's cell and hijack the cell's machinery to replicate themselves. They use the cell's resources to make copies of their own genetic material and viral proteins, eventually leading to the destruction of the host cell as new viruses are released.
