When a virus takes over a cell what part of the virus takes over the cells functions?

The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".


What is the life cycle of H1N1 virus?

Lytic Cycle


Does virus have life?

yes virus have life but only in the host cell


What are two ways a virus can enter a host cell?

Viruses can cause lytic infections or lysogenic infections. When a virus enters a cell to make copies of itself, causing the cell to rupture, that is called a lytic infection. A lysogenic infection is where a virus incorporates itself into the DNA of the cell it invades and replicates its genetic code.

Does SARS go through a lytic or a lysogenic cycle?

The virus that causes AIDS, HIV, is lytic in nature. Once it attaches itself into a host cell, it will go about integrating its genetic material into the host cell and use its machinery to force the cell to make copies of the virus. Additionally, the viral cell will kill the host cell in the process.


What is a repeating series of events that describes the life of a cell?

Cell Cycle


How are lytic and lysogenic cycles the same?

They are the same only in the way that take over the cell hosts. The lytic cycle will cause the cell to rapidly rupture and die at the end of their life cycle. The lysogenic virus will hide in the cell's nucleus for many cycles until it too will cause the death of the cell.


How is cell division similar to your life cycle?

Cell division is similar to your life cycle because you are made of up cells and cells reproduce which humans reproduce. That is how cell division is related to your life cycle.


Does Measles go through the lysogenic life cycle or lytic life cycle?

tuberculosis is caused by a bacterium. lytic and lysogeinc cycles are a part of viral life-cycle.


The metabolic or growth phase of a cell life cycle is called?

Interphase is the metabolic or growth phase of a cell life cycle. The cell spend most of their life in this cycle preparing for cellular division.
