What else can I help you with?
What is it called when a virus hides for a while as part of bacterial chromosome?
This process is known as lysogeny, where a virus integrates its genetic material into the chromosome of its host bacterium and remains dormant until conditions are favorable for reactivation.
What part of the bacterium allows it to recognize different substances in the outside environment?
The outer membrane of the bacterium contains receptors that can recognize and bind to different substances in the outside environment. These receptors help the bacterium sense and respond to changes in its surroundings.
Is human papilloma virus viral or bacterial?
HPV is a virus, not a bacterium. It is a DNA virus, part of the Papova family and Papilloma genus. It has a circular ring of DNA, is icosahedron shaped and quite small (50 diameter).
When a phage attaches to a bacterium what does the phage inject and what stays attached to the cell?
When a phage attaches to a bacterium, it injects its genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the cell. The phage capsid (outer protein coat) typically stays attached to the cell surface during this process.
What is never part of a virus?
Viral Envelope
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the protein parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the proteins parts?

What statements about lysogenic conversion is true?
Lysogenic conversion occurs when a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria) introduces new genetic material into a bacterium, resulting in changes to the bacterium's properties or characteristics. This can include new toxin production, altered resistance to antibiotics, or enhanced virulence. The inserted genetic material becomes part of the bacterium's genome and is passed on to subsequent generations through cell division.
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".
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
When a hidden virus multiplies, it replicates within the cells of the host organism, using its cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus. The virus then spreads to other cells in the body, leading to further infection. As the virus multiplies, it can overwhelm the host's immune system, resulting in the escalation of symptoms and potentially causing damage to tissues and organs.
What is the executable part of a computer virus know as?
I believe the question you are asking is "What is the part of a computer virus that does damage known as?" since the entire virus is an executable. This part is known as the payload.
What part of the virus contains the information used to produce new virus?
?
