Generally, the protein coat that surrounds the viral genetic material and any reverse trascriptase enzymes. This capsid stays outside the cell attacked while the genetic material and whatever else is needed is injected into the cell or the capsid merges with the cell membrane and the vital viral material enters the cell.

What helps the flu or mumps virus enter and leave the host cell?
Receptors on the cell that the virus can attach to.
When virus enter a lysogenic phase it mean?
the virus is integrate inti the DNA of the host cell and is latent.
Why is protein synthesis important for cells and viruses?
Protein synthesis is important for viruses because the virus forces the host cell to make proteins that the cell does not need, but the virus does to repoduce. Protein synthesis is important for cells because the proteins are essential for all cellular activites.
What does a hidden virus do?
a hidden virus is were your virus is hidden so you have a virus but you can't see it. so its called a hidden virus.
How does a virus know what cell to enter?
It has matching proteins on it's capsid that match ones on certain host cells.
What is the outer layer of the virus that helps it enter its host?
The outer layer of a virus is called the capsid. Some viruses have an envelope over the capsid either one help the virus enter its' host.
What is a virus that repeats itself?
Virus cannot replicate it self. It should enter into a host
What helps the flu or mumps virus enter and leave the host cell?
Receptors on the cell that the virus can attach to.
When virus enter a lysogenic phase it mean?
the virus is integrate inti the DNA of the host cell and is latent.
What is the part of a virus that attaches to the host cell?
envelop
What happens to the HIV genetic material after enter into the host body?
It has to enter the host DNA and "make" the host DNA make the virus parts. To do this the RNA that the virus contains has to be able to enter into the cell nucleus and take over the host DNA. It carries an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to complete this. See the link below for a very good idea of how it works:
What does membrance envelope do?
it a part of a virus and takes over the host
Why do proteins establish the host range of a virus?
It all depends on what you mean by your question. Both the host cell and the virus have proteins that must match for the virus to enter the cell. The more these match, the greater number of species of plants and animals that will be affected.
Why is protein synthesis important for cells and viruses?
Protein synthesis is important for viruses because the virus forces the host cell to make proteins that the cell does not need, but the virus does to repoduce. Protein synthesis is important for cells because the proteins are essential for all cellular activites.
What is true about a lysogenic infection?
Many viruses enter the lytic cycle immediately following infecting the host cell. However, some viruses may not lyse their host immediately and enter the lysogenic cycle. At the start of the lysogenic cycle, the virus genome is integrated into the host chromosome instead of being immediately transcribed and translated. The virus genome then lies dormant in the host chromosome until a later event triggers its excision from the host chromosome. The excised viral genome will then be transcribed and translated and the virus enters the lytic cycle. the virus hides in the host's DNA.
What must HIV surface protein do to enter a host cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
How are the lysogenic and lytic cycles different?
causes Disease
