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 bateriophage?
A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more phages, and eventually causes the cell to burst, releasing new phages to infect other cells. Bacteriophages have potential applications in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.
What is a bactriophage?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce more virus particles. Bacteriophages are being studied for their potential use in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.
What is the first event that occurs when a viruse a virus infects a host cell?
the virus attaches to the host cells membrane
The viral reproductive cycle in which a virus infects a cell nakes many copies of itself and destroys the cell is the what?
The viral reproductive cycle you are referring to is called the lytic cycle. In this cycle, a virus infects a host cell, hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles, and ultimately causes the cell to burst (lyse), releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells. This process results in the destruction of the host cell.
Once a virus has entered a living cell what does it force the cell to do?
Once inside a living cell, a virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate itself, producing more viruses. It does this by taking control of the cell's protein synthesis and genetic material, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell when the new viruses are released.
How do cells get diseases?
When a virus breaks through a cell wall/ membrane and infects the cytoplasm.
What do you call a virus that infects plants?
A virus that infects plants is called is viroid.
What type of virus invades bacteria?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce new phages.
2 examples of lytic virus?
Influenza virus: This is a lytic virus that infects the respiratory tract in humans, causing symptoms such as fever, cough, and body aches. T4 bacteriophage: This is a lytic virus that infects bacteria, specifically E. coli, by injecting its genetic material and taking over the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more viruses, ultimately leading to the lysis of the bacterial cell.
