It's genetic material and some enzymes sometimes which hijack the bacteria into making more viruses.
What else can I help you with?
What is a virus called that invades bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacterial cells and can inject their genetic material into the host bacterium, leading to replication and eventual destruction of the bacterial cell.
What is the cell that a virus infects?
Host Cell
What is bacteriphages?
Virus that infects a bacteria cell
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host
What is a virus that infects E coli bacteria?
T4 bacteriophage is a common virus that infects E. coli bacteria. It injects its genetic material into the bacterium, taking over the host's machinery to replicate itself. This ultimately leads to the destruction of the bacterial cell and the release of new phages.
When a virus infects a cell what does it produce?
more copies of itself
Which is SMALLEST of these four bacterium red blood cell virus lymphocyte?
Virus
Where does a virus reproduce?
a virus is able to replicate itself bu taking over the metabolic activities of the cell it infects essentially saying stop what you are suppose to do and make copies of me. so the virus actually doesn't replicate itself but rather the cell in which it infects does it for it. this occurs during the lytic phase of the virus. sometimes the virus "hides" by incorporating itself within the dna of the cell it infects(causing certain cancers) until it is releases itself and says make me. this dormant phase is called lysogenic.
Is a virus made of a single cell similar to bacterium?
YES
What is bacteriaophage?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It can inject its genetic material into a bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to make more copies of itself, eventually leading to the death of the bacterial cell. Bacteriophages are being researched for their potential use in treating bacterial infections, particularly in the era of antibiotic resistance.
What is the first event that occurs when a viruse a virus infects a host cell?
the virus attaches to the host cells membrane
What type of virus hides in the host cell?
The virus is build to only react when it comes in contact with a certain type of antigen, let's say the surface of a certain cell. The virus will then inject his RNA or DNA into the cell which gives the cell instructions to build more virus particles.
