First, viruses don't have cells. A virus contains RNA or DNA inside a coating of proteins and sometimes lipids. Some viruses also carry enzymes to help in hijacking a cell.

What must reproduce inside a virus?
Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
Yes, by inserting its DNA or RNA into that cell.
Is influenza a viral infection?
No, influenza is a negatively stranded RNA virus belonging to the orthomxyoviridae family. Retroviruses are also RNA viruses but convert the RNA to DNA once inside the cell, with reverse transcriptase.
What has a virus inside of it?
A virus has either DNA or RNA inside the covering called a capsid.
Can RNA virus facilitate the transduction?
Yes it can.For example: Hepatitis virus which is single stranded RNA and when it attacks the host cell, in the body of the host cell, it becomes doule stranded RNA and from that RNA, it forms DNA.
When human immunodeficiency virus HIV attaches to a host cell what genetic material is released into the cell's cytoplasm?
Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
What portion of the virus actually enters a cell is the?
RNA or DNA depending on the type of virus.
What injects DNA and RNA into nucleus of the cell to reproduce?
A Virus! :<
Which enzyme is required for RNA virus to multiply in the host cell?
Reverse transcriptase. Runs off a DNA strand(s) from the virus RNA template.
Where are the instuctions for making new copis of a virus found?
in the DNA or RNA protected inside the virus.
How do viruses get into bacterial cell?
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
