Want this question answered?
Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.
to divide themselves
viruses do not grow, and viruses do not respond to changes in their environment. Therefore, viruses are not living organisms. All living things reproduce, but Viruses need living cells to reproduce because Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves.
No. Viruses must invade a host cell and hijack its resources to replicate itself.
In terms of what ? I u are asking about bacteria in terms of viruses Bacteria are living and can reproduce themselves While viruses are ghosts they can only live inside a host and also can reproduce inside it Hope i answered u

. Viruses must reproduce in a host cell because they lack organelles needed to duplicate viral components. True or false

viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
they reproduce independentlyThis is a false statement as viruses need a host cell and it's replicative machinery to reproduce their genetic material.
Part of the definition of a living thing is that it can reproduce itself, which a virus can't do. Bacteria reproduce like any other cellular organism: by cellular division. Viruses, however, can not reproduce themselves. Instead, they infect other cells and force those to make more viruses.
Viruses called Worms can reproduce by copying themselves into other files. They can also attach to emails and filesharing. There tricky and harmful to any computer.
Yes. Viruses' only aim is to reproduce; if they invade a cell and are not killed off, they will continue replicating themselves until the cell bursts.
Two very important reasons are growth and reproduction. Viruses do not have a way of converting potential energy, or photonic energy, into useful forms; no metabolism. Viruses can not reproduce on their own and must hijack a cell's reproductive machinery to reproduce themselves.
