How does the west nile virus attack the host cell?
The west nile virus does not attack a host cell. the virus flows through your blood stream and spreads through your blood stream. Incorrect: West Nile Virus does attack a host cell: the nerves. It produces effects similar to polio.
How DNA is destroyed by virus?
It is not destroyed. It is "hijacked" by a virus so that the host DNA will begin to make virus parts.
What is extreme amplification?
Amplification is when a virus multiplies through the body of the host. Extreme amplification multiplies the virus exponentially within the host.
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:
How virus make humans sick?
Because a virus goes and attack a host body cell, making a person feel bad.
What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?
This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
What can a virus affect not a computer virus?
well it depends what kind of virus or talking about different viruses attack different places but overall if they are not taken care of they can affect everywhere in a human body first of viruses attack the immune system like white blood cells and that kinda stuff then if they cannot defend against the virus it spreads to other places like other cells tissues and organs why this is is because a virus needs a host and cannot reproduce unless it has a host meaning it cannot make copies of itself unless of the host the virus then takes over the cell and uses it to produce after the cell is filled with copies of the virus it burst and the virus emerge and began this process again on another cell if not treated the virus can take over mostly anywhere
What parts of a virus allow it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?
An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.
What type of self-replication program uses a scripting engine to attack and infect a host file?
macro-virus
This type of self-replicating program uses a script engine to attack and infect a host file?
Macro-virus
What is an entity that can get you sick invade your body but is not technically a living thing?
A virus is an example of an entity that can cause sickness by invading your body, but it is not considered a living thing because it cannot replicate or carry out metabolic processes on its own.
