What is a form in which HIV hides in the host cell?
the forms in which hiv hides in the host cell is retrovirus
During the lysogenic cycle the viral genome replication and the host cell is destroyed. true or false?
False. During the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome integrates into the host cell's genome and replicates along with it without destroying the host cell. This is in contrast to the lytic cycle where the host cell is ultimately destroyed during viral replication.
What can a virus do without a host cell?
It can do nothing. It needs the host cell to make more virus particles.
Can viruses copy themselves without a living host cell?
No, viruses cannot copy themselves without a living host cell. They rely on the machinery and resources of a host cell to replicate and reproduce. Without a host cell, viruses cannot carry out their life cycle.
What does it mean for a virus to have a lysogenic reproductive cycle?
The lysogenic cycle replicates the phage genome without destroying the host. Similar to Lytic reproduction, Lysogenic also begins when the phage inserts its DNA or RNA into the host cell through its surface. Once the nucleic acid is inside the cell, it forms a circle, and becomes a part of the genome of the host cell. It does this through genetic recombination, or crossing over. Once it joins the host’s genome, it is called a prophage. Since it is a part of the host cell’s genome, the phage’s genetic information is copied and distributed to the daughter cells of the host cell, which continues dividing naturally. This allows the prophage to be repeatedly copied and passed on without destroying the host cell it depends on for metabolic and reproduction purposes. In order for actual active phages to be produced, the segment of genome from the original phage exits the genome of the host cell and becomes independent. When this occurs, it begins the lytic cycle, destroying the cell, but producing new and functional phages.
What are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?
A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.
What type of virus hides in the host cell?
The virus is build to only react when it comes in contact with a certain type of antigen, let's say the surface of a certain cell. The virus will then inject his RNA or DNA into the cell which gives the cell instructions to build more virus particles.
What exists when the immune system does not respone to a particular antigen?
Usually a virus that hides inside a host cell where it is undetectable (the majority of the time) its antigens wouldn't always be presented on the surface of the cell for macrophages to engulf =]
What is a virus that replicates without killing the host cell called?
A virus that replicates without killing the host cell is called a "persistent virus." These viruses establish long-term infections within the host, allowing them to continue to replicate and spread without causing cell death.
How do you render a Succubi from the mortal body without destroying the host?
A basic purification ritual can be conducted that will eliminate most succubi without harm to the host- they do not infest a host like a virus, but visit repeatedly like a pest. A good purification ritual acts like bug repellent.
How are viruses which typically have a lipid covering called an envelope released from the host cell?
Viruses with an envelope are released from host cells by budding off the cell membrane. During this process, the virus pushes through the host cell's membrane, acquiring an envelope derived from the host cell's membrane. This budding process allows the virus to leave the host cell without causing immediate cell death.
What must be true for viruses to be able to replicate?
Viruses must infect a host cell in order to replicate. Once inside the host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to produce new viral particles. Without a host cell, viruses are unable to replicate.
