What else can I help you with?
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.
What has a virus inside of it?
A virus has either DNA or RNA inside the covering called a capsid.
Once a virus gets inside a cell does it change the instructions to the cell's nucleus?
No, a virus does not change the instructions in the cell's nucleus. Instead, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus hijacks the cell's normal processes to make new virus particles, which can then infect other cells.
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 is a reterovirus?
A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is replicated in a host cell via the enzyme reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host's genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell's DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral family Retrovirida.
What is the term for the genetic material inside a virus?
The term for .the genetic material inside of a virus is Hereditary. Hereditary is a gene passed from a parent. If you are learning about viruses then you may know that they reprodue by using a living cell. They attack it, inject their DNA/RNA and let the cell do the rest. Viruses are concidered 50% living and 50% non living. Im a person that belives that they are not living. You should know that when a virus has injected the DNA/RNA its still alive and it leaves the cell. once it leaves the cell begins to produce thousands of little viruses. They then begin the prosses all over again.
How does a virus attach to a cell and transfer its genetic material into the cell?
A virus attaches to a host cell by recognizing specific receptors on the cell surface. It then injects its genetic material, either DNA or RNA, into the cell. Once inside, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce more virus particles.
What pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either rna or DNA surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen made of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. The nucleic acid contains the genetic material needed for the virus to replicate inside a host cell.
What injects DNA and RNA into nucleus of the cell to reproduce?
Viruses inject their genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the host cell's nucleus in order to replicate. Once inside, the viral genetic material hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more viral particles.
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.
Where are the instuctions for making new copis of a virus found?
in the DNA or RNA protected inside the virus.
