What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?
viruses can only reproduce in living cells by injecting their own dna into the nucleus
Why do virus do not fit into your concept of cell?
a virus has no metabolism.a virus cannot reproduce independently, it must infect a cell.a virus is much smaller than a cell.
What is role of virus in making vaccine?
The most common role of a virus in making vaccines is injection of a live weaken form of the virus. This virus will reproduce poorly once inside the body.
Does a virus need a crystal or a host to reproduce?
the virus needs the host to reproduce!! : )
Where does a virus replicate itself?
Viruses do not reproduce since they are not alive but they hijack the host's DNA to make more viruses.
Do viruses only reproduce inside living things?
A Virus must invade a host cell in order to reproduce. What people commonly mix up with them is bacteria which has no need to
How do cells respond to a bacteria or virus?
If a virus enters a bacteria cell, the virus will try to infiltrate the cell's central code. If the cell catches it in time, it may be stopped (like a disease virus), but many times the bacterial virus will reproduce inside the cell. Hidden virus will become part of the cell's genetic material code upon entering, and will eventually reproduce. Active virus are easier to spot, as they try to start reproducing after "laying eggs" getting inside the cell.
A virus needs a _____________ to reproduce?
There is no other living thing that requires a virus in order to reproduce.
Which microbes have to be in cells to reproduce?
Viruses must be inside cells in order to replicate. They don't really reproduce in the biological sense. Their DNA or RNA takes over a living cell and causes it to make and assemble virus parts. Eventually the cell will burst, releasing the newly replicated viruses.
Which microorganisns cannot multiply on their own?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade and infect other cells in order to be able to reproduce.
Does virus reproduce artificially?
Viruses must be produced in a host cell. They can be produced in vitro (in glass) if there are host cells in there first.
What microbes can only reproduce inside the cells of animals or plants?
Virus is a pathogen that can only reproduce inside a host cell. Some protists exhibit similar behavior. ---------------------- This being because many of the species of viruses do not have nuclei or a way to produce offspring. These microbes require a host cell for survival and reproductive purposes.
