What is a process that a virus can do in a host?

First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!


What is the portion of the virus that actually enters the host cell?

its genetic material


What is active viruses?

when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.


What is active disease?

An "active virus" is when a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses. This process destroys the host cell. The steps are first, the virus attach's to a host cell. Second, the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Third, the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Fourth, new viruses from inside the host cell. Fifth, new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. There are five steps on how a active virus functions inside a cell.


How do viruses get into bacterial cell?

A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.


In the lytic cycle the host cell?

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA or RNA enters the cell and integrates into the host DNA as a new set of genes called prophage. That is, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell's genetic material. It does not destroy the host cell.


When attacked by viruses cells die?

Yes, a virus uses a host cell to house and reproduce itself. In the final stage of its parasitic occupation, the virus replicas burst from the host cell, killing the host cell.


Do viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell?

Yes viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell. This happens when a virus enters a host cell.


How do virues reproduce?

A virus needs a host cell to reproduce, so it enters a host cell(living cell e.g bacteria) and releases genatic materials which enslave the the cell and reproduce.


Steps which a active virus copies itself and destroys a cell?

The virus attaches to a specific host cell. Then the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Then the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Then new viruses form inside of the host cell. Then the new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. there are so many then in my witing


Why is a virus not concidered to be alive till it enters a living plant or animal?

viruses cannot be considered alive until it enters the host cell because it cannot metabolises its organic nutrient but the ATP made by the host cell.


Which stage of bacteriophage replication involves the bursting of the host cell so that the virus particles are free to infect others?

This is the last stage and it is called viral shedding. After a virus has made many copies of itself, it usually has used up the cell resources. The host cell is now no longer useful to the virus and the cell often dies.
