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.

The RNA of the virus enter the nucleus along with the reverse transcriptase enzyme where this enzyme transcribes a length of DNA from the RNA template of the virus. Then the virus can use the DNA template for further transcription and enters the cells DNA as a provirus.

What component of a virus is injected into the infected cell?
The components of a virus that is injected into the infected cell is either the RNA or DNA. A virus is composed of two parts a nucleic acid part and a protein part.
What component of a virus is injected into infected cell?
the nucleic acid
What happens when a virus enters a plant cell?
The cell becomes a virus breeding machine the virus takes over the cell and uses it to make more viruses
What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?
When the cell reproduces, the provirus is copied as part of the chromosome. The virus chromosome is placed into the host cell's.
What happens when a cell is full of a new virus?
it makes the virus hypotonic and it ruptures, making new viruses
What component of a virus is injected into the infected cell?
The components of a virus that is injected into the infected cell is either the RNA or DNA. A virus is composed of two parts a nucleic acid part and a protein part.
Where does translation occur in a DNA virus?
It occurs when the DNA from the virus is injected into the host cell.
What component of a virus is injected into infected cell?
the nucleic acid
What happens when a cell is full of new virus's?
It becomes an active virus
What happens when a virus enters a plant cell?
The cell becomes a virus breeding machine the virus takes over the cell and uses it to make more viruses
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
What are two function's of a virus's protein coat?
The two functions of a virus's protein coat are to protect the genetic material inside and to react with the cell wall of a potential host cell, thus causing the genetic material to be injected into the host cell.
What happens at the end of the cycle?
the host cell becomes a virus
What are the six stages of Bacteriophage attacking the cell?
1. Adsorption- when the virus attaches to the cell 2. Entry- when the virus's DNA is injected into the cell's 3. Replication- when the cell makes lots of new parts for new viruses 4. Assembly when the "virus pieces form new viruses 5. Lyse- when the cell explodes and the new viruses are released.
What happens to a host cell when a virus replicates inside it?
the virus is integrate inti the DNA of the host cell and is latent.
What happens to cells when virus enters it and how is the production of cancer cells being treated?
The invasion of virus began with the attachment of the virus on the targeted host cell. The virus will inject its genetic information ( either DNA or RNA, can not be both) into the cell, leaving its protein coat outside of the cell. The genetic information which is injected by the virus will take over the mechanism of the cell; the genetic material of the virus will direct the host cell to reproduce more virus and when the viruses is reproduced, it is released into the surrounding to infect other host cell. Production or the source of cancer cell is nothing related to the virus. The cancer cell is produced when there is extreme radiation, deaminating agent, base analog and acridine derivative which will affect the normal cell cycle and lead to uncontrollable cell division (mitosis) and because the cell produced has no function (it is not differentiated), it compete with other healthy, normal cell for space and food. A way to treat this cancer is to inhibit the cell cycle of the cancerous cell. One of the method is radiotherapy.
What does the protein coat do during a virus invation?
Generally, excepting a retrovirus like HIV, the coat stay out side of the victim cell while the genetic material is injected into the cell.
